[Bug 5974] New: spamc: separate connect timeout from read timeout

Summary: spamc: separate connect timeout from read timeout
Product: Spamassassin
Version: 3.2.5

Patch that adds separate connect timeout to spamc
Some might find it useful to have different timeouts when connecting vs reading
from the socket in situations where failover is being used. In my case, if one
host is down, sometimes spamc will stall for quite a while trying to open the
connection in the first place, and would want the timeout to be short so I
don't have a bunch of processes waiting for a dead host to open a connection.
On the other hand, I don't want the timeout when a socket was opened to be so
short, since this means the host is up, but probably just busy and is much more
likely to return a proper response. And since it's busy, and we're using
multiple hosts with failover and randomization, all other hosts are probably
busy as well.
Of course, many won't care, so if the connect-specific timeout isn't specified,
the read timeout or default timeout should be used.
I've attached a patch for the spamc that comes with 3.2.5 that should add this
functionality, though I make no guarantees of quality (it's pretty simple,
tho). :)

please keep in mind, that this new option won't work for win32 spamc.
I've just tried this. Sadly, there isn't a simple solution for a connection
timout on win32 platform.
