Hi

I'm using courier-mta with maildrop. I created a maildroprc file that checks for certain attachments (i.e. exe, com) then forwards the message to another email address.

Everything seemed to be working fine. The maildroprc file was forwarding mail with these attachments to the specified email address. However, once and a while I find errors in the message log like the following ...

What's going on here?

Your mail filter is grossly inefficient, or you coded an infinite loop in your filtering recipe. If the mail filtering recipe does not finish in five minutes, maildrop will abort the mail delivery.
