I know, I used to run a full feed over DS3 (which could barely take the traffic back in '99!).

Thats a really good idea, but implementation across multiple nodes may prove difficult. I'll give it some thought. > - Umm, mailbox/maildir/nntp archives from day one, please, seriously. Seriously, if you want to support it, get a box and be a provider. I'll happily support mailman and its native archives, but it'll be a cold day in hell before I interface NNTP again, or worry about maildirs for every user: forget it. If you are hereby *seriously* offering to provide these, then put up a box on a permanent connection, and you can be the designated module writer for it :-) //Alif -- Those who make peaceful change impossible, make violent revolution inevitable.
