I wonder how many people are subbed here? (I've asked lyris for a command card to see if I can tell, but who knows when it will respond...)
By a quick reckoning, the high water mark for list msgs last week (including BBQ sauce and Cynicalgeek threads) was about 175 posts. My little diversion list did somewhere near 450 posts today, which is in near 25K outbound msgs totaling ~1.5GB Now certainly his list could have 1,000 members or something... but I'm running on a relatively modest VM on modest hardware in the server closet in my basement, but it's hardly even breaking a sweat. I bet I could do 100-200K messages a day without much problem. I'd expect a place like Sunbelt/GFI should have the resources to do far more than that... -sc -----Original Message----- From: Ben Scott [mailto:mailvor...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, March 23, 2012 10:32 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Good SBS list On Fri, Mar 23, 2012 at 9:18 AM, David Lum <david....@nwea.org> wrote: > I experience the same, if I post before 9am local (Pacific) it's > pretty quick, if it's much after that, it's 50/50 I see it in the next > 10 minutes, or six hours. According to The Powers That Be, the lag is due to an artificial limit in *messages per unit of time* built-in to Lyris. So it only happens if a lot of people are posting. It thus varies by time of day (more list members are posting during US business hours, it seems) as well as the overall traffic volume. Thus a reduction in arguments about beer/language/etc also helps. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
