[Mimedefang] Bigger MAX_QUEUE_SIZE, why is there a hardcoded limit ?

[Martin Blapp]

Hi David,

Can you tell my why there is a hardcoded queue limit
in mimedefang-multiplexor ?

This limit is tunable, for example in FreeBSD:

sysctl kern.ipc.somaxconn=256

and perl also allows overwrite (in mimedefang-filter)

sub SOMAXCONN() {256;}

I'm currently running a queue size of 256, and it
works fine.
