I spoke to Jing by private email, he said his entry point to gossip was the "Where can I get support?" entry on the FAQ - despite the massive warnings right in that FAQ entry.
My conclusion is that there is massive pent-up demand for Tomcat support throughout the world, and there is no way to avoid the shrapnel. I've already told gossip's list server to bounce anything that has the word "jakarta" or "tomcat" in the subject line. If people have specific suggestions, let me know, but I can't think of anything. If some entrepreneur wanted to start a business supporting Tomcat, I think they might do quite well. In related news, Mail-Archive processing performance has been incredible. Right now there is about one hour of mail in queue in the processing backlog. That's typical for evening, and weekday daytime might rise to a couple of hours. We appear to be at equalibrium with these numbers. This is soooo much better than the previous situation, where we had 140+ hours of backlog and rising. It's possible Mail-Archive lost some users during the outage, but I think most of the difference is due to tuning changes made to the disk I/O system. I'm delighted, and this lets Mail-Archive go back to the all critical "don't think about it, it just works" mode of operation. That's super important from my perspective. Spam has been interesting. Honeypot addresses (including those by unfortunate real life users) definitely are picking up harvesting activity, but I have high hopes that the full-on address censoring and new per-IP address rate limiting in the web server will soon starve the spambots out completely. I also noticed that at least one spammer is forging return addresses with my personal email; they appear to be sending Korean spam to Korean addresses, and I end up getting the bounces. Overall I think the world spam environment is getting worse, but suspect that Mail-Archive's countermeasures have gotten better, faster. What else? I'll probably make one more trip out to the colocation facility to install an additional cooling fan on the main server just because I am paranoid. Other than that, Mail-Archive looks like it has capacity to run for a while without baby sitting. -Jeff > Please let us know what web page you looked at > to decide where to ask this question.
