Christophe, I perceive filling up the logs of a mail proxy server upto the
point that it would fill the available disk space of it a major bug. This
breaks infrastructure that is not just there for that one or two mail clients.

Now one can argue why does the perdition log this. Well its just a new
connection attempt and in my oppinion it makes sense to have it logged. I
consider doing hundred thousands of new connections to the same mail server in
a relatively short timeframe a major bug.

I.e. it doesn't even just load the local machine, but the mail server up to the
point that is near to a denial of service attack. Even a distributed one in
that case cause it only happens when two or more Akonadi IMAP clients access
the same server.

So the software does not only crash. And it also insists of restarting itself
after crashing again and again and again. So the software knows that it is
broken but even insists of being running like this.

If that is no major bug, I do not know what is. Seriously.


So what is your reasoning for this not to be a major bug?
