[collectd] [PATCH] email plugin: Use a thread pool.

Sebastian Harl sh<span style="display: none;">.trailing-username</span>(a)<span style="display: none;">leading-domain.</span>tokkee.org
Fri Dec 8 15:12:42 CET 2006


Up to now the email plugin created a thread for each connection. This thread
was destroyed after the connection has been closed. Now, a pool containing
MaxConns threads is created and a new connection is assigned to a free thread.
