Don't like that very much. Some problems can strike across boundaries (e.g. X bug gets both KDE and Gnome). AFAICT, the existing list manager (yavin and/or moseisley.mandrax.org) is just plain wonky and needs taking out and shooting. * My own copies of Sympa just don't do that; and * I've never had PostFix do anything bizarre or even unexpected (contrast that with MS-Exchange), which lets out the software on Yavin; and * AFAICT no non-list Mandrake mail goes walkies, which lets out smtp.mandrakesoft.com unless it's dedicated to Cooker traffic; and * this leaves one of: * bandwidth; or * hardware (I'm inclined to discount this since most messages seem to get through eventually); or * the software on Moseisley (neither Moseisley nor Smtp admit to being PostFix, nor do they generate PostFix-looking message queue IDs). The only other oddity I can see in the headers is that some clocks are evidently off by a few minutes (mail arriving at the next hop before it's sent, that kind of thing). Cheers; Leon
