I'm a bit confused by the vocabulary used by Jim Tittsler. What he said sounded like not every mail (to a user) is processed on its own but instead many of them are built and send as one mail?
That's correct. That's how mailing lists usually work. They take one input message, potentially add things like headers and footers, then send that back out to the list recipients -- tens, or hundreds, or thousands of addresses.
They typically group as many recipients together as they can, so that they send one copy of the message, addressed to multiple users.
Now this sounds logical from a performance point of view.
Hm, I tried to find some design documention/overview on the list.org site, but I couldn't find anything, could somebody give me a hint about this?
Thanks again, cu Martin -- dont.wanna.tell [ot]coder - hehe
