https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=256711 Bug ID: 256711 Summary: mail/mimedefang: allow setting memory limits in rc.conf Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: ml@netfence.it CC: m.tsatsenko@gmail.com Flags: maintainer-feedback?(m.tsatsenko@gmail.com) CC: m.tsatsenko@gmail.com Created attachment 225926 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=225926&action=edit Allow setting MX_MAX_RSS and MX_MAX_AS in rc.conf In order to avoid DOSes due to complex MIME, MIMEDefang sets some limits on how much memory a process can use (MX_MAX_RSS and MX_MAX_AS). The provided example init script sets these variables to very low values (which probably made sense when RAM was much scarcer); the port already patches that file, increasing them, but they are still way too low in some cases, resulting in some mail messages crashing the filter and not passing. This patch, while retaining the current port defaults, allows these thresholds to be set in rc.conf. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
