You obviously never got an angry call from a Dreamhost sysadmin because your spam-filtering Perl script was apparently dragging their whole system down. :) Granted, a mailing list lacking a spam filter (where it shouldn't be as needed anyway) wouldn't be as taxing. > And why should we think that Charles' hosting provider, whoever that > is, is going to have better capacity and more willingness than > Dreamhost? Yes, that's a good question. I get the impression that it's not a dedicated server either. But, he's also paying extra for the bandwidth and CPU usage the list requires, so maybe that's the answer... we should probably continue this on the new list. > (Just asking questions -- I don't have any preference for where the > new mailing list gets set up.) No, me either, though I'd prefer a quick move to a permanent solution than a series of interim solutions, since we'll lose some people on every move.
