Mail::...:Stress(3pm)

πŸ’– Mail::...:Stress(3pm) πŸ’–

okay bestie, welcome to the manual page for Mail::MtPolicyd::Plugin::Stress β€” yes the man page header is out here going by Mail::...:Stress(3pm) like it's too cool for full names, but the actual module is the whole thing, we love a mysterious queen ✨


🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 2.05 β€” she's v2.05 and she knows it πŸ’…


✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so basically: this plugin will return an action, or execute further plugins, if postfix signals stress. that's it, that's the vibe β€” postfix is overwhelmed, and this plugin is the friend who notices 😭

See postfix STRESS_README. (go read it, iykyk πŸ“–)


πŸŽ€ PARAMETERS πŸŽ€

not me about to say this but β€” an action must be specified. like, required required. no action, no entry, periodt. 🚨
  • action (default: empty) β€” the action to return when under stress. that's the one you gotta set, bestie.
  • Plugin (default: empty) β€” execute this plugins when under stress. yes, it's capital-P Plugin, and yes, it's phrased exactly like that, don't come for me πŸ™ˆ

πŸ¦‹ EXAMPLE: defer clients when under stress πŸ¦‹

to defer clients under stress:

<Plugin stress>
  module = "Stress"
  action = "defer please try again later"
</Plugin>

this will return an defer action and execute no further tests. one and done, no extra checks, we're out 🫢

you may want to do some white listing for preferred clients before this action. protect the VIPs first, lowkey iconic πŸ’–
