When mailman goes to deliver a post to all subscribers, it breaks it up into about 15 separate chunks of email addresses with a delivery agent assigned to each chunk. This is done for two reasons - one, delivery is faster that way, and two, because it minimizes the effect of people who have a bad mailserver on others. What will happen is if your mailserver is down or extremely slow (and this list is plagued by people who do have poor mailservers on average it seems), the delivery process hangs up trying to talk to the bad mailserver for a long time. This causes the remainder of the 15 person chunk to sit around on hold. Along those lines, I had posted that the mailman list membership migration tool doesn't migrate the "no mail" flag. So many of the accounts who had their "no mail" flag set, started getting emails from the list. In many cases, people do that when they want to unsubscribe but they are too lazy to really unsubscribe, or think it's going to be a short period of time, so they just set their no mail flag instead. When it got turned on again (because the migration doesn't preserve that flag), a ton of people who hadn't been on the list for years suddenly started getting email again, many of those email addresses were no longer valid. What this means is, I had to go through and find all the entries in the queue that were slow or no delivery and cancel their subscriptions. I didn't recognize your email address, so I figured it was one of those when in fact it was just that your mailserver was coughing just last night anyways. In addition, people may now start getting duplicates if they actually subscribed to both cctech and cctalk, with one or the other set to "no mail". Since that flag is gone, they will start receiving duplicates - one the SAME LIST. If you subscribe to both, you WILL get double posts. Or more precisely, you'll get double posts of everything the moderator deems as being on-topic and single posts of everything the moderator deams as off-topic. Some people get around this by setting the nomail flag on one or the other subscription. I have no clue why people would want to do this but maybe I'm missing something. Anyways... sorry for the uncerimonious unsub Wai-Sun! Let me know if you have any more trouble. Now I gotta figure out why HtDig (what makes the list archives searchable) is choking on it's run every night on cctalk. But that's getting put off for a day, I'm gonna go spend the rest of the day with my 11/45 :) Jay
