Surely you jest? Do you have -any- idea how many deliveries, plus cvs
sessions, vger.rutgers.edu deals with daily? Sorry, but the system
handling the QMail mailing list doesn't even come close to that level of
throughput load.
Ask David; he and and the ZMailer developer (who also tunes vger's mail
system) posted some stats today on the linux-kernel list regarding what
that machine has to put up with.
And now that anonymous CVS has been closed, deliveries are back to the 1-2
hour range. Not bad, considering the number of subscribers, the level
of traffic, and the spread of exploders.
