Heh, I haven't run a Usenet server in just over 23 years, but even then, server software was moving away from the file-per-article storage to avoid this issue (and others). Mail servers, on the other hand, were jumping to the file-per-message method just as fast as Usenet servers discarded it, and are still using it. -- Chris Adams <li...@cmadams.net> _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
