[Sqlgrey-users] Current TODO list

[Lionel B. <lio...@bo...>]

This is roughly organised by priority. Did I miss something ?

-- BEGIN
1.4.x
- fix EGID bug (done in CVS),
- allow distributing whitelists from a central point
 . reload whitelists on SIGUSR1 (done in CVS, not tested)
 . separate script which updates the whitelist and calls SIGUSR1
- send mails (adjustable rate) to postmaster when the database goes down 
and comes back
- make maint_delay configurable

1.5.x development releases
- use time units everywhere to make configuration easier (add safety 
barriers ?)
- experiment with SPF support
- consider optin/optout (is it easy to do with Postfix? Then provide an 
HOWTO
  else code it in SQLgrey and document it)
- support migrating from another greylister by calling it to learn its 
auto-whitelists
- external cleanup process/experiment with an adaptative cleanup algorithm

As soon as available...
- gather enough perf data to decide on indices to add

-- END

I thought that starting with 1.4.0 development would slow down :-)

People asking for whitelist reloads probably noticed that I don't use 
SIGHUP for whitelists reloading as initially planned. This is because 
when I implemented the reloading code in SQLgrey I discovered that 
SIGHUP handling was done by Net::Server. I tried to use the appropriate 
hooks to reload the whitelists but it seems Net::Server::Multiplex 
SIGHUP handling is buggy (seems there's a race condition related to the 
pidfile removal when it restarts the process that leads to a complete 
crash), so I went the USR1 way...

When the example script and the distribution server are both ready I'll 
release 1.4.1.
