Hi!
I wonder if any tools exist to "prebuild" a wait-remote-smtp database.
I inject some thousand mails into the exim spool directory
by BSMTP. Before starting delivery, I'd like to build
a wait-remote-smtp database, so that Exim uses the feature of
delivering mails on the same TCP channel.
2 questions (mainly to Philip):
- Is this, in principle, a bad idea?
- Are there any tools existing, or other interested
people in such a tool?
Is the approach correct for such a Perl skript to:
- Use something like "exim_tidydb" to clear old entries
- Scan the spool directory in a loop, reading all receipients
- Look, if that domain was already resolved:
- Yes: Add this message-id to the list for the resolved
mail host(s)
- No: Resolve the MX and add the message to the host list.
- Care about continuation records
And just another question:
- Will PIPELINING be used (if offered) on channelized
SMTP delivery?
Cheers,
Georg
