But then that would allow the possibility of meaningless but potentially
confusing things like:
verify = sender/maxtimeout=40s
The "maxtimeout" sub-option is related only to the "callout" option, so
logically it kind of has to be part of that option.
I thought the original (10s+40s) was OK myself (though I take the point
about the possible confusion). I think verify = sender/callout=10s;40s
would be a reasonable alternative.
Or how about
sender/callout=10s!40s
or
sender/callout=10s&40s
The latter would even make some kind of sense, since it's "timeout of 10s
AND overall timeout of 40s"
