Well, you see, we have these things call "Institutional Mandates" that we have to comply with. And if that means it can take up to 4 minutes to receive mail in peak times (when the server is the slowest) than so be it. Because if I do otherwise, and don't comply with the Institutional Mandates, then I _will_ be fired. Now, again, your milage may vary... > My useless 2 cents. Appreciated, and even more appreciated that you are not my boss, as I like my job and would like to keep it. Do you really have mail that is so critical you can't sometimes wait up to 4 minutes to receive it? If so, well, good luck! Besides, this is a temporary situation with a known fix in the future. It isn't like the developers want to keep it running this slow. They've already promised the fix, and made it available as an RC release. Come on guys, as I said, your milage may vary. Don't assume what is right for you is right for everyone. I don't, so why should you? BTW, I've gotten exactly one complaint from one user about the slowness of delivery, and he called wondering why his mail he sent 2 minutes ago hadn't been delivered yet. Before I could explain or look into it (he was on the phone) he said "oh, there it is, never mind" and hung up. So in the absence of user complaints, I can't understand why you want to fire me. I mean: I can explain why it is slow, I can demonstrate why it is slow, I can show there is a fix available and that a future release can fix it, I can propose other ways to make it faster and detail the problems with doing so, and we could decide together what path to follow. Now what is incompetent or wrong with that? > _______________________________________________ > Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net > http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html -- Eric Rostetter The Department of Physics The University of Texas at Austin Go Longhorns! _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
