    I recently took over maintenance of the maildrop package. Can you confirm
    if
    this but still exists in the current versio of maildrop (3.1.8-2)?


    I had a look at the source, and the problem appears to remain.

    Thank you for taking the time to look at the source.

    This sounds like an upstream feature request. I have a hard time imagining how a 5 minute timeout would cause problems for the processing of an individual email, but if you can provide a compelling use case I would recommend you file an upstream feature request. If you decide to do so, please post a link to it in this bug report.

    It's very easy to imagine, at least 18 years ago, when dialup internet
    access was more common than today, "broadband" started at 128kbps, and yet emails with attachments could still be several megabytes!

    I could see that being the case 18 years ago, but I have a hard time imagining it now. In any case, upstream is who you need to convince.
