From: Shawn Betts <sabetts <at> andrew.cmu.edu> To: 6441 <at> debbugs.gnu.org Subject: bug#6441: 23.2; password-cache and smtpmail useless default Date: Wed, 16 Jun 2010 12:20:09 -0700
The default value for password-cache-expiry is 16 seconds. smtpmail uses password-cache to save the password. However, since it expires 16 seconds after its cached it never functionally stores my password. The next time I send an email I always have to enter my password which doesn't seem right. Obviously, I just set my password-cache-expiry to nil to fix the problem but it strikes me that 16 seconds is a useless default for smtpmail. Perhaps password-cache-add should have an optional cache-expiry-override variable.
