Sometimes you want to try and stress things, just to give beta feedback to Barry. I've shown a problem with computing all VERPed messages before sending (as opposed to *while sending*), I'm quite happy with that being in a beta (or alpha) moment before the much awaited MM2.1. > VERP a bunch of little lists roughly sequentially.

What I'm witnessing now is also interesting: these personalized messages go out one after the other, almost 20 seconds between them. The IncomingRunner is taking up about 100% of one of the CPU. The BounceRunner taking 30% of the other. I guess both are trying, for each file, to rescan the database file? I can't understand why the IncomingRunner should check the database... In conclusion, it's going to take on loooong time expelling all these files... Too bad I'll have to stop that experiment (or spend several days with an eye on log files). -- Fil _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers
