We recently moved from one network to another here at state. Before the move we informed the systems staff that we are sending between 20 and 60 thousand emails a day currently. They said no problem. Needless to say as soon as we made the switch it completely overloaded their servers. We just started getting mail again today. I had 1300 emails from the last two days alone.
BTW if anyone has sent me anything in the last week that I didn't reply to please send it again as a lot of mail was lost.

After lunch, we set up an Apple Airport to dial into Earthlink (which apparently uses a different backbone). So I checked my mail. I was sure something was wrong. I mean, how many emails from Bill Wheatley can there be regarding the question thread? That's got to be the same message downloading multiple times, right? Dear god, Bill. You make me glad I'm usually on fast DSL. *sigh* Well, now that they're all downloaded, all that's left is for me to read it all.... :-) -- Ben "creeping along the internet" Doom Programmer & General Lackey Moonbow Software, Inc ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=5 This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
