#89 Error: Stuck in ipvalidate

[Robert Keurentjes]

While testing Fluffy on my desktop, I'm regularly seeing
the above error in the detailed (7/6) debug log. It
doesn't seem to be causing any problems, but I thought
I'd let you know. I've attached an extract of the log
window (in technicolor).

You really really really ought to make 127.0.0.1 as part of
your local network. Don't you think?

The local network tab has a button for automatically
assigning the correct settings.

I realise I should be adding 127.0.0.1 but I removed it for
testing purposes. I was testing Fluffy by sending emails from
the same system Fluffy runs on.

I have now added 127.0.0.1 again and I'm sending test
messages from another system, which happens to be in the
same LAN, but it's not in Fluffy's "Local Network". I have
added a special DNSBL (bogons.cymru.com) to block
192.168.0.2 (the IP of my test client). Now, if I start Fluffy, it
does one correct lookup (and block), but every next lookup
seems to fail and therefore the connection is not blocked,
although it's supposed to.

I just found out that this behaviour is apparently related to
the Expiry setting. When I set "DNSBL/Sapmtrap Expiry to 0
hours" (which I did for testing), that's when this error comes
up. I have now changed it to 1 hour and that seems to fix the
problem (after restarting Fluffy).

I have attached an extract of the log. In here, you can see
another strange side effect of the Expiry=0 setting: after
Fluffy finishes validating for the first time, it seems to "hang"
for 30 seconds before closing the connection.

I hope this helps.
