[Spambayes] POP3Proxy: too long delay

[Richie Hindle]

Hi Sylvain,

> maybe it did not relayed the authentication confirmation fast enough?

It should start to relay after thirty seconds, whether it's received the
whole message or not - does your error appear before then?

You can change the timeout by editing sb_server.py - around line 215
should be code like this:

        # Time out after 30 seconds for message-retrieval commands if
        # all the headers are down.  The rest of the message will proxy
        # straight through.
        if self.command in ['TOP', 'RETR'] and \
           self.seenAllHeaders and time.time() > self.startTime + 30:
            self.onResponse()
            self.response = ''

Just change that '30' to whatever suits.  You can use "which sb_server.py"
to find out where sb_server.py is on your machine.

Please let us know whether this helps.  We should probably make the
timeout configurable.
