Re: [DUG]: Alternative list hosting?
Currently my system allows you to get a web based 'digest' of the last month, last week, or todays list mail. I would add a search, but currently I'm the only one using it... if you do, Peter, look at Lucene (www.lucene.com) - its a VERY cool full-text-index package for Java. --- New Zealand Delphi Users group - Delphi List - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: http://www.delphi.org.nz To UnSub, send email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body of unsubscribe delphi Web Archive at: http://www.mail-archive.com/delphi%40delphi.org.nz/
Re: [DUG]: Alternative list hosting? - maybe the final word for a while
Hi people, OK, I've looked thru this, and I think I may know of a solution, but I need a little time (and approval from Annie and Richard) to do it (to say I'm busy at the moment is a little bit of an understatement - but you all know THAT one). I just need to check if ezmlm will do what we want, and if so, I'll set it up on the Linux server we have in the office. The address may change ([EMAIL PROTECTED] for example) but other than that it would be the same. Get back to you in a week or so.

RE: [DUG]: Alternative list hosting?
Um - blocking viruses? Is it a big issue? If an attachment comes through (like it did with this particular one) the first thing that comes to mind is I bet THAT'S a virus so I don't open it. With the possibilities of viruses coming through email etc everyonne should know NOT to open unknown attachments anyway. If you use this group you should have enough common sense to not open these things anyway. Technology should not be seen as a replacement for common sense.

Re: [DUG]: Alternative list hosting?
I'm not advocating changing or not changing (not that anyone would care) but I think the claim that posts to lists in YahooGroups always have adverts appended to them isn't true. I'm subscribed to several groups we use internally and they don't have ads. There is a small TOS URL and a few URLS for subscribing/unsubscribing tacked on. The IBObjects and IBSupport lists (which are public as opposed to the private lists i mentioned) are also on Yahoo and they don't have ads either. Finally, turnaround on the posts to the private lists I mentioned looks like about 8 minutes.I don't know of any posts to these lists that yahoo has lost (admittedly not proof it doesn't occur). OTOH I do know that I often get posts from the DUG/NZ server that are replies to earlier posts that I've never received.

Re: [DUG]: Alternative list hosting?
I'm on several lists on yahoogroups, the largest of which maxed out around 400 posts per day, things kept up quite nicely, with message turnaround less than 8 minutes, but there was been on occasion when messages either turn up late, or out of order (yahoogroups does handle a lot of mail, and problems are bound to occur). Also, on the advert thing, egroups always did have an option of paying a fee to egroups and having the adds removed, but I don't recall seeing adds on the YH messages you I think on it. --On Tuesday, July 10, 2001 9:36 AM +0700 Nello Sestini [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Finally, turnaround on the posts to the private lists I mentioned looks like about 8 minutes.I don't know --- New Zealand Delphi Users group - Delphi List - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: http://www.delphi.org.nz To UnSub, send email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body of unsubscribe delphi Web Archive at: http://www.mail-archive.com/delphi%40delphi.org.nz/

I have been keeping a Delphi List archive for a while now. I have also written listserver - written in Java.
