Connection timeout is not working

[lashnag]

use SMTPValidateEmail\Validator as SmtpEmailValidator;

$validator = new SmtpEmailValidator('[email protected]', '[email protected]');
$validator->setConnectTimeout(1);
$smtpResults = $validator->validate();

It is waiting 3 minute

If you send timeout using setTimeout - you need to use that setting

I cannot replicate this on my end.
When trying those addresses using this code:

<?php

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use SMTPValidateEmail\Validator as SmtpEmailValidator;

$validator = new SmtpEmailValidator('[email protected]', '[email protected]');
$validator->setConnectTimeout(1);
$smtpResults = $validator->validate();

var_dump($validator->getLog());

I get this output back:

To me, with data from the debug timestamps, this looks like connection attempts failed/timed-out after 1 sec, as requested/specified. So, it appears that connection timeout is working as intended, no?

Command-specific timeouts have nothing to do with the connection timeout. They are set as per the (old) RFCs -- feel free to change them yourself if you wish (and/or if you think they are the cause of your delays...).

A far more likely cause is that the server is throttling you on purpose (due to what the server thinks is unacceptable behaviour).

If I understand you correctly regarding:

This might mean you are suggesting an enhancement/change/fix in the sense that you feel that setConnectTimeout(1) should automatically set all timeouts to 1 -- if that is the case, feel free to fork and/or create a PR in which that happens (should be rather simple). Ideally, keep that change behind a flag or similar guard (so that default behaviour remains the same as it was, for backwards compatibility).

Whether it'll get merged, I don't know -- but that does not matter if it ends up working for your use-case anyway.
