timeouts

Using milter-greylist 2.0b2 on Fedora Core 3

 From this morning's logwatch report:

    Milter (greylist): timeout before data read: 15 Time(s)
    Milter (greylist): to error state: 15 Time(s)

This seems to be one of the cases:
Mar 13 17:39:14 ciscy sendmail[10954]: j2DNd4aa010954: Milter 
(greylist): timeout before data read
Mar 13 17:39:14 ciscy sendmail[10954]: j2DNd4aa010954: Milter 
(greylist): to error state
Mar 13 17:39:15 ciscy sendmail[10954]: j2DNd4aa010954: 
from=<fedora-list-bounces@...>, size=6954, class=-100, nrcpts=1, 
msgid=<200503132338.58309.td@...>, proto=ESMTP,

Do you use SPF? You get this when it times out because of DNS requests.

That must be it. Thanks.

Is this on the to-do list for 2.0?

No, it's not a bug. Increase the timeout in sendmail.cf and it will
disapear.

I've doubled the timeout values and will check the logs tomorrow:

INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`greylist', 
`S=local:/var/milter-greylist/milter-greylist.sock,T=S:20s;R:20s;E:5m')dnl
