Re: Replies arrive before originals (was:Re: Strange error message when sending)

2000-08-14 Thread Syafril Hermansyah

Hello Marck D. Pearlstone,

Responding  to  your  article on Sunday, August 13, 2000 at 12:21:19 GMT
+0100 (which was 13/08/2000 18:21 GMT +0700 my Local Time) :

[ ... ]

MDP I  agree that this is not always the case. The "retry queue" has had a
MDP mention  in  this thread and I can state what this is here and now. If
MDP all  MX  servers (see above) fail to respond after a fixed retry count
MDP (x  times  for  each  server in the MX list for the domain - I have my
MDP server  set  at  three, I think the default is four) the message fails
MDP the immediate delivery and is placed in the retry queue.

The  server  will retry sending in first 4 hours, and every attempt will
try  8  times  per  MX.  It depend on the traffic though, sometimes in 4
hours  the server will retry 10 times , sometimes more and sometime less
than 4 (the server will check delivery schedule every 1 minutes).

MDP This  queue is processed at regular intervals - usually four hourly
MDP ...  I don't know what Syafril has defaulted ours to - for around 4
MDP days.

It's  depend  on  error messages when trying to deliver, but normally if
after  4  hours the message can't be deliver it will going to RetryQueue
in  this  list  (will  stack  there for 3-days, trying delivery for next
days) or going to Relay Host for further delivery attempt.

MDP After  four  days,  the server will inform the list manager (in the
MDP case  of  list  traffic) of the permanent delivery failure. This is
MDP the  retry  queue  logic.  It doesn't apply to the example you have
MDP given  -  there  is no appreciable delay between the dutaint server
MDP receiving  the  original message and the relay servers on the other
MDP side accepting the message for forward delivery.

Correct, thank for the explanation.

I can give some details to this problem: it seemes as if it has sometimes to do
with Mark R. Harding's msgs (Sorry, no offence, Mark).

1.) Thread "Filtering to other accounts..." and replies
I received Marks reply to Ming-Li's reply on 11 Aug 2000 19.45; the initial
message arrived on 12 Aug 2000 13.50

2.) Thread "Re: why do u discriminate me just cuz Im new to this list?"
I received a reply from Steve Lamb on 12 Aug 2000 9.13; the initial msg to
which the reply was related was Mark's which arrived here on 12 Aug 2000, 11.09.
I enclosed parts of the header of these two msgs at the end of this mail.

I'm sure there are some more examples (I'm not sure, that /always/ Mark's
message is affected), but I think this will do.

I sent these examples OFF-LIST to Curtis (I was't sure whether this topic is of
everyone's interest). He answered:

 Any idea ?

ACM Nope. Maybe Syafril can help.

Syafril, can you ??

Re: Replies arrive before originals (was:Re: Strange error message when sending)

2000-08-13 Thread Mark R Harding

Gerd,

Regarding your message dated: 13 August 2000...

GE I can give some details to this problem: it seemes as if it has sometimes to do
GE with Mark R. Harding's msgs (Sorry, no offence, Mark).

No offence taken!  I have an idea though although I'm not sure how it
explains the problem ...

The reply you quoted from me was sent from my machine at work.  Email
from this machine gets routed onto the internet via the SMTP server at
work which is very well run and normally extremely quick.

When I work from home (dial-up), or communicate with friends who use
dial-up connections and their ISP's servers I often notice that
messages start running out-of-sync and my assumption from examining
headers in the past is that some ISPs servers are overloaded on
occasion and take a while to distribute email.

I also have a free
email address at 'email.com' which is setup to directly forward all
email to my work account and if I mail myself (for test purposes only
of course - I promise I'm not that mad!) I notice that it can regularly
take a day or two to get the message back to me. (i.e. - it's hopeless
and I don't use it any more.)

Really, I don't know if factors such as these could be affecting how
you get you mail deliveries out-of-order (logically it doesn't seem to
make sense) but this does happen to a number of people I know and
usually there is a 'free email' service involved somewhere along the
line.

GE I'm sure there are some more examples (I'm not sure, that /always/ Mark's
GE message is affected), but I think this will do.

Generally for me, on TBUDL/TBBETA this effect is rare (barring the
other type of out-of-sync messages such as the messages recently from
Starc whose emails all seem to be dated mid-June time and therefore
appear way down near the bottom of the pile due to
sort-by-creation-date settings.) but it does happen a lot on the only
other discussion list I'm on.

There the readership is more diverse in client/platform where some
subscribers use PC's, some macs, some OnMail (digital TV email) and so
on with a whole host of clients on each platform. With clocks not
always accurate and differences in platforms adherring to standards
it's a wonder any of the output is ledgible at all!

For interests sake - this message is sent from home (via my server,
the ISP relay and outwards...) so it'll be interesting to see whether
there are problems in timing with this message too?

Best wishes

Mark

Hi Gerd,

On 13 August 2000 at 11:45:42 GMT +0200 (which was 10:45 where I

GE I  can  give  some details to this problem: it seemes as if it has
GE sometimes  to  do  with Mark R. Harding's msgs (Sorry, no offence,
GE Mark).

This  has  nothing  to  do  with  Mark's account. It is to do with the
routing  used  to  reach  your  domain,  which  seems to be variable -
possibly  because there are multiple MX records for the domain and the
message  gets  routed  to the first domain MX server which responds in
real  time.  The  server  will traverse the list of MX servers for the
domain  in  order  of priority until it finds one that will accept the
mail. It seems that one of them is more than slightly sluggish.

GE I  sent  these  examples  OFF-LIST to Curtis (I was't sure whether

IOW: I'd have a word with your ISP.

I  agree that this is not always the case. The "retry queue" has had a
mention  in  this thread and I can state what this is here and now. If
all  MX  servers (see above) fail to respond after a fixed retry count
(x  times  for  each  server in the MX list for the domain - I have my
server  set  at  three, I think the default is four) the message fails
the immediate delivery and is placed in the retry queue. This queue is
processed  at regular intervals - usually four hourly ... I don't know
what  Syafril  has  defaulted  ours to - for around 4 days. After four
days,  the  server  will  inform the list manager (in the case of list
traffic)  of  the  permanent delivery failure. This is the retry queue
logic.  It  doesn't  apply to the example you have given - there is no
appreciable  delay  between  the dutaint server receiving the original
message  and the relay servers on the other side accepting the message
for forward delivery.

In truth, time difference in seconds can't be really be relied upon. I
once  saw someone sneering at PC clock synchronizers on this list but,
IMHO,  such  things  are a necessity for clarity and to ensure that we
are  all  talking  the same language. I use one which runs on the main
comms  machine  here  on  my LAN and knows how to get the current real
time from a time server. It will do this at one minute intervals while
I  am  connected  to  an ISP and I dial out at least every 15 minutes.
This  software  also provides time server services for the LAN and all
other  machines  here  look  to  it  for an update at around 30 minute
intervals.  A  PC  clock  will  drift  by a few seconds every day. The
practices  I  observe here mean that no PC in the house is out by more
than  a  second  at any time (except in the case of prolonged dial-out
failure).

Geez, if a PC clock is so far off real time, I think someone needs to
invent a new oszillator! ;-) I synchronise about once a week.

Anyway, someone's "sent time" being off by six weeks (!) has nothing
to do with synchronisation or lack thereof, he just hasn't figured out
yet how to set the time on his PC. Doesn't anybody know a newsgroup we
can recommend him for that?

Marck,

Regarding your message dated: 13 August 2000...

I'd agree that a time synchroniser is pretty much essential to allow
accurate clock-times to be maintained... I use "Dimension 4" which is
a marvellous little piece of freeware.  I discovered it when a
colleague's machine lost its ability to maintain the clock-time when
it was switched off (i.e. A CMOS clock problem) and by putting
"Dimension 4" into the startup group the machine re-established its
link with "the real world" on each boot.

In case anyone is interested, "Dimension 4" is available here...

Mark

I use AboutTime. I used anacron for a while but was unhappy - forgot
the reason. Anyway, there are many free time synchronisers at Yahoo,
category Computing  Internet; search for "time synchro". It'll give
you some choices.

Thanks for your reply. No problems with this message. Although your idea is a
good explanation for the effect, I think it is a problem with my ISP, as Marck
mentioned in his reply.

I used to have this problem with my former account (@ibm.net) and it
turned out that the server was off-line for hours on end every couple
of days.

When the Mailing List server cannot connect, it will put the message
meant for you into a queue and only try so much later again, or so I
was told. Traffic on this list has been huge these past days, maybe
the retry is therefore even later, or the queue longer (I'm
speculating).

Case in point, Gerd, I only received your message, just now,
second-hand via Thomas' reply; I've yet to receive your original post.
It's been happening to me, only with this list out of many high-volume
lists, for either two or three days. Despite what others may suggest
regarding your ISP, I suspect the problem is *not* on the listmember
end of things.
