Yes, some SMTP servers apply such restrictive rules, but not the 
big ones (AFAICT). But the more important is to have a reverse dns 
that matches your servers domain.

spammers don't retry .. or retry immediately

they don't delay for 5 mins and retry .. as it is too expensive

Cheyenne's MTA waits for 5mn before raising a timeout as per RFC.

It's not a timeout, it's a temp failure.

Never encountered that so far while testing with the big ones (Yahoo, 
Gmail, Hotmail, French ISPs)

This is my teergrubbing greylisting mail server for Uniserve

I tried sendind from home computers connected through either cable 
or ADSL connections. Only Yahoo!Mail rejected emails sent from ADSL 
network.

I was quite surprised to see that Gmail and others accepted emails 
sent directly from a MTA on home computer...(I thought that I would 
need to make all testing from remote servers).

I also would now drop that restriction ...

and analyse the email instead ...

but in 2005 I rejected all broadband based mtas

Yeah, I studied your smtpd.r implementation. I thought I would need 
to support greylisting, but it seems not to be required to deliver 
emails to the big ones.

Good to know ...

Thanks Dock for this new release 8)

You really are creating one of the flagship applications with cheyenne. 
 Something that should be broadcast a bit more outside of the REBOL 
fanbase IMHO.

Many servers do use greylisting, many spammer bots do retry after 
a delay

build better armor, they build better weapons  ;-)

might as well wear none and dodge things instead  ;-D

This was how the Mongul army defeated all the armies of Europe.

Update cheyenne via Svn, ran it .. and it locks up consistently.

Windows 7 RC1

Port 7900

Max: I want the web control panel and the one-click webapp deployement 
feature for Cheyenne to make it more attractive to non-rebol users. 
Still a lot of work to make it close to what I have in mind.

Graham: did you run it from sources or did you encap it?

source

I should create a fresh checkout

try from console : do/args %cheyenne.r "-vvvvv"

fresh checkout also locks up

Try using the verbose mode to see when that happens.

locks up as soon as smtp loaded

also OpenSCManager failed - access denieds

OpenSCManager => I'm aware of that one, same on Vista.

that goes away if run as administrator

but stjll locks up after loading async smtp

Ok, I think the issue comes from UniServe/protocols/dig.r

from the 'win-get-dns function

it tries to obtain the DNS servers using 2 strategies depending on 
the REBOL kernel used. If GET-REG is available, it tries to get the 
info from the registry, else, it calls "ipconfig" and parses output.

local-ip .. can't you use get-modes?

>> rebol/version
== 2.7.6.3.1

>> value? 'get-reg
== false

get-modes will give you all the working interfaces info, but no way 
to know which one is used to route your traffic to Internet.

Can you copy/paste the 'win-get-dns function to a fresh console to 
see what happens?

locks up

can you copy/paste juste the 4 lines starting from : out: ""?

I think that's the CALL which is blocking, just want to make sure.

locks up on the 'call

Is IPCONFIG available on Win7?

which versions have get-reg?

sure ..ipconfig is present
