oh and as a matter of a fact, I just happen to see that you Cc-ed me on the exchanges, I just received the first mail you sent. Just see by yourself how fast and furious master runs: Received: from master.debian.org (master.debian.org [70.103.162.30]) by mx1.polytechnique.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7512D33176 for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Tue, 18 Jul 2006 10:05:31 +0200 (CEST) Received: from 5.xs4all.nl ([213.84.114.29] helo=capsaicin.mamane.lu) by master.debian.org with esmtp (Exim 4.50) id 1G2k5n-0007ft-48; Tue, 18 Jul 2006 02:34:07 -0500 Yeah, master took 31 minutes to deliver the mail to the next SMTP server, and I'm an admin on it (that's the mail server I was speaking of earlier in the thread) and it was its first submission. so maybe it's time you revise your jugements on how efficient debian.org mails servers are recently. -- ·O· Pierre Habouzit ··O [EMAIL PROTECTED] OOO http://www.madism.org
