I also experience the "hour or so" response time getting emails from
this list.  I would love to see this situation remedied.

Subject: RE: [U2] Time Travel

I have to add my two bits. Okay, I don't 'have' to...

I use the exact same email group software (majordomo 1.94.5) on my
'home'
system with over 7000 subscribers to over 180 different email groups.
Our
groups never see the delays the members of this group see, so with all
due
respect, there's something different happening that's causing the lags.
We
often see as many as 200 emails a second going out of our server, which
is
an 800mghz PIII with 120GB disk, no mirroring (I know, bad idea) and
running fedora core 4 (old...). Our group members get their emails back
within seconds, literally. I send an email to this group, and it
sometimes
takes an hour or so before I see it come back to me. I send an email to
one of my groups at home, and I get it back within seconds.

Now then, with that said, I've also added bulk_mailer to my email group
server so maybe that speeds things up a great deal. I don't know. I did
it
so I would quit getting the annoying 'too many email connections from
your
server' errors I see from aol, hotmail, msn, yahoo, netscape, netzero,
juno, gmail, . . . ad infinitum of the 'big' email hosts.

My point? none really, other than to show that Charles' nice numerically
explained _time travel_ doesn't match my real-life experience with my
own
majordomo server...

I don't know why, they just aren't the same.
