Why is this so slow?

Rumor has it that Roger Merchberger may have mentioned these words: Yea, I'm replying to myself... I must be schizophrenic... :-) I got busy with customers (at work) so I checked the headers - all of the Received: headers are undisturbed, so I could figure out a round-trip time... and the message took 34 minutes. It sounds like Jay has a 30-minute batch processing interval on the messages - as to why he might do that, it's probably to conserve bandwidth and/or CPU time. If he's hosting this at his work, it may be to conserve resources for a personal endeavor. *Personally*, I'd like to see a little quicker turnaround (~15-min. or so) but that's solely MHO, and I have *no* complaints whatsoever for Jay -- as far as I'm concerned he's gone far above & beyond the call of duty WRT hosting this list. If I haven't said it enough, here it is again: Thanks, Jay!!! :-) If you are seeing a 90+minute turnaround, you might want to check with your mailserver (I co-own an ISP, so all I have to do is telnet to check mine...) and see if there's any problems on your end... Anyway, I HTH, "Merch" -- Roger "Merch" Merchberger --- sysadmin, Iceberg Computers Recycling is good, right??? Ok, so I'll recycle an old .sig. If at first you don't succeed, nuclear warhead disarmament should *not* be your first career choice.
