Bug#366876: smarthost/fetchmail preset should set smtp_accept_queue_per_connection = 0

[Florian Laws]

Package: exim4
Severity: wishlist


When the smarthost+fetchmail configuration preset is selected in
debconf, the config should automatically include 
smtp_accept_queue_per_connection = 0.

It is typical for smarthost+fetchmail configurations that mails 
come in in batches from a fetchmail run when the system gets online.
These batches are very often larger than the
smtp_accept_queue_per_connection default of 10. Thus in the default
config, mail from fetchmail is unnecessarily delayed.

I don't think that in a typical smarthost+fetchmail leaf setup, there
will be a workload that needs smtp_accept_queue_per_connection > 0 
for load limiting.

Thanks,

Florian
