From 5453b83bdf92efbfe9e9aaa54d4c62ce48ced2f5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: xiaoqiang zhao Date: Sun, 21 May 2017 20:59:50 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] send-email: --batch-size to work around some SMTP server limit Some email servers (e.g. smtp.163.com) limit the number emails to be sent per session (connection) and this will lead to a faliure when sending many messages. Teach send-email to disconnect after sending a number of messages (configurable via the --batch-size= option), wait for a few seconds (configurable via the --relogin-delay= option) and reconnect, to work around such a limit. Also add two configuration variables to give these options the default. Note: We will use this as a band-aid for now, but in the longer term, we should look at and react to the SMTP error code from the server; Xianqiang reports that 450 and 451 are returned by problematic servers. cf. https://public-inbox.org/git/7993e188.d18d.15c3560bcaf.Coremail.zxq_yx_007@163.com/ Signed-off-by: xiaoqiang zhao Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano --- Documentation/config.txt | 10 ++++++++++ Documentation/git-send-email.txt | 15 +++++++++++++++ contrib/completion/git-completion.bash | 2 ++ git-send-email.perl | 18 ++++++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 45 insertions(+) diff --git a/Documentation/config.txt b/Documentation/config.txt index 475e874d51..ee4a111878 100644 --- a/Documentation/config.txt +++ b/Documentation/config.txt @@ -2914,6 +2914,16 @@ sendemail.xmailer:: sendemail.signedoffcc (deprecated):: Deprecated alias for `sendemail.signedoffbycc`. +sendemail.smtpBatchSize:: + Number of messages to be sent per connection, after that a relogin + will happen.
