Hmm., which to someone like me (who's customers are pressuring me to release
an OSX version of my mail server that has better performance than the OS9
version) sounds like it is a problem with OSX networking.
The short answer appears to be:
Cache more aggressively and rewrite my code so that I don't get as many name
lookup timeouts.
One more question, since there can only be one of these at a time, how long
does it take for OTInetMailExchange() and OTInetStringToAddress() to
timeout?
All of this adds up to real bad news for mail servers, or am I missing
something?
