[kees: re-sending this series on behalf of John Wood [off-list ref] also visible at https://github.com/johwood/linux fbfam] From: John Wood <redacted>Why are you resending this? The author of the code needs to be able to send and receive emails directly as part of development and maintenance.I tried to send the full patch serie by myself but my email got blocked. After get support from my email provider it told to me that my account is young, and due to its spam policie I am not allow, for now, to send a big amount of mails in a short period. They also informed me that soon I will be able to send more mails. The quantity increase with the age of the account.If you're using "git send-email" then specify --confirm=always and either manually send a mail every few seconds or use an expect script like #!/bin/bash EXPECT_SCRIPT= function cleanup() { if [ "$EXPECT_SCRIPT" != "" ]; then rm $EXPECT_SCRIPT fi } trap cleanup EXIT EXPECT_SCRIPT=`mktemp` cat > $EXPECT_SCRIPT <<EOF spawn sh ./SEND expect { "Send this email" { sleep 10; exp_send y\\r; exp_continue } } EOF expect -f $EXPECT_SCRIPT exit $? This will work if your provider limits the rate mails are sent rather than the total amount.
...or you could keep it simple and just pass "--batch-size 1 --relogin-delay 10" to git send-email ;) -- Ondrej Mosnacek Software Engineer, Platform Security - SELinux kernel Red Hat, Inc.
