Issue: Inbound Mail repeating requests

[Kinesh Patel]

Our inbound mail handler seems to be replaying or retrying requests multiple times, but intermittently. All requests are completing (e.g. no DeadlineExceeded or other Exceptions are raised); however they can take 30-45 seconds on occasion. 

What are reasons that Google's Inbound Mail service might retry a request?

[Kinesh Patel]

We've run tests all day and it seems like requests are repeated when they take longer than 30 seconds (even though there is no exception raised - this only occurs after the standard 60 seconds). Perhaps there is an undocumented constraint here?

[Chad Vincent]

Possibly?  We were running into the 60 second limit regularly.  We re-factored, and now just strip the email of relevant data, and toss that on the TaskQueue for later processing.

It's working very well that way so far.

This is a good idea Chad, thanks.
