certain

if

> posts from the undeliver directory to the spool and restart the list. This
> was a little flaky when I first put it in but is now going perfectly.
> 2. The list is slow. There is a minimum 4 minute wait on list posts. This
is
> due to all posts being parsed by a CF template. This removes all HTML
> attachments, viruses, footers, etc. After this template, posts are sent to
> the list. In some cases (usually about 100 or so a day) a post may be
queued
> up because the mail server is having problems sending it. There are many
> reasons for this which I can detail later if you want. The result is that
> for these people, their posts may come an hour or more later. This is
> unavoidable at the moment as its more a net thing than anything else. I'll
> look into some form of secondary DNS or tracing to help here if it exists.
> 3. You can receive posts but not send. This is because the list only
allows
> posts from the same address as the person subscribed with. I'm looking at
> writing a patch for this as well.
> As you can see, I've written a LOT of patch code for the list and its all
> working rather well. I've promised to send it to some people and will once
a
> free second comes up (Sunday). The real issue is post.office. I'm moving
> from it as soon as I can. The three options are:
> 1. iMS - needs a solid listserver program which howie is writing into
> fusionmail 2.0
> 2. Lyris - costs a bundle, but I may have a backer and the list
participants
> to help for it.
> 3. Linux - This requires a new box as most of the stuff on HoF is in
windows
> format (in one way or another). I will explore this.
> There are about 20 lists on the box as it stands now with about 4000-5000
> people all together. Another box is a definite possibility and something
I'm

> baby and more and am looking to make the time needed to make more changes.
