In response to this, and the atrocious performance that I just observed
sending to a 60,000 or so member list, I've implemented a connection
sharing system in v1.27.
I've removed all the explicit connect/cursor calls, and now they're
implemented by a connect on __init() and subsequently by a single
function; prodServerConnection() which does a ping() against the
server(which the MySQL docs say should do an automatic reconnect if
possible), checks for errors, if the ping() fails, tries a full
disconnect and reconnect, trapping any errors that occur.
If that fails, it drops out.
This hasn't been thoroughly tested yet, but it should work I think.
I still need a little help with the bounce_info and delivery_status
flags, though, as they don't seem to be working, in spite of what
Mailman is logging(*), the database isn't being updated.
K.
*) Lots of these, but the database isn't being updated properly...
