The ConnectionCacheTimeout ( K) option specifies the maximum time
that any cached connection will be permitted to idle. When the idle
time exceeds this value the connection is closed. *This number
should be
small (under ten minutes) to prevent you from grabbing too many
resources
from other hosts. The default is five minutes.*

Folks,
I see a couple of folk suggesting that this thread has run its course. I've
been wondering about that.
Given how long the thread has been and how much senior email talent has
contributed to it, I'm entirely unclear what it has accomplished or where it
can or should go.
So I thought I'd ask.
Perhaps this has merely been an extended consulting session to help a few folk?
Given the amount of sage commentary has been posted, is there a document that
should be produced?
Measuring actual costs (what is the resource cost of session setup and
teardown, and of maintaining an open session, for well-implemented, mainstream
MTAs?) would seem to be something to do before discussing such a document in
much detail.
Cheers,
Steve
