Those both show the results of DNS timeouts. They're not
necessarily indicative of a software problem.

However, while debugging something else I may have found a
bug relating to query retries inside libar. In the interim,
you can try these things which I've found to help:

- run with a -T value of about 30 or higher
- use the system resolver instead of libar

I have a patch for libar which seems to be working in my
test environment (i.e. home!). If you'd like to try it out,
let me know and I'll attach it.

Would you give me a patch.
And, please let me know how to use the system resolver
instead of libar.

I changed to use the system resolver by commnenting out
three lines in sid-filter/makefile.m4, but still I have
these messages.

In these cases, forums.ni.com or sshgate.sourceforge.net
does not have MX records. Is there something to do with the
messages ?

If you're still having trouble and you're not using libar,
then the patch I have won't help you because the problem it
fixes is in libar.

I'll see if I can reproduce your problem.

Both of these examples (using my own MX as the client IP
address, since I don't know yours) complete within about a
second. Does this happen every time for these two domains?

They inevitably give the errors. By the way, for example,

http://www.dnsreport.com/tools/dnsreport.ch?
domain=forums.ni.com

always give us time out errors, whatever name servers I use.

In that case, I'd say this isn't a problem with this package
but with the nameservers for that domain.

If I look up forums.ni.com, that's reported as an alias for
ni.lithium.com. One of the nameservers for lithium.com
appears to be unreachable. That's probably the culprit here.

I can't seem to reproduce the problem with
sshgate.sourceforge.net.

Thank you for the reply, sm-msk.
Now I understand it is not any bug of sid-milter.
The problem is that, it gives us

and these e-mails never make it to be delivered. The only
way to pass them is to stop using sid-milter.
Is there any way to pass these e-mails, even if there is
some discrepancy in name server seggings ?

I'll see if I can get a command line option into the
development version which delivers mail in such cases.

A patch is now available. If you'd like to try a
pre-release of the next version of the filter, let me know
and I'll e-mail you privately about it.

The libar patch in 0.2.11 fixes part of this problem, and
the rest has to do with timeout tuning between the filter
and the MTA. The details about the latter issue are in
discussion on sid-milter-discuss and will be addressed in a
future release.
