Re: [Pvfs2-developers] bmi multiple address endpoints

Sam, Just a random thought.. Just like our distribution code is pluggable, perhaps the multi-pathing code can also be (eventually?) moved into a plugin-based architecture..? Also I think, instead of using the secondary paths only for failover scenarios, multi-pathing plugins could define to choose

I discussed the desired behavior we want out of this fail-over code with folks offline, and we came up with a plan. At the moment, there are two conflicting failure schemes, multiple addresses, and multiple protocols. Also, the multiple protocols case isn't ideal for failure, since both

I think I can get it to do that -- well at least for the english version of the refuse message: PlEASE VERIFY that the address described in the rejection is the same address you attempted to register for the list. Many (many) people subscribe from an address such as [EMAIL PROTECTED], but send em

Hi Brad, Does mailman let you stick in some help text in the reject message? Something telling them to verify that the email they sent from was the same as the subscribing one? I don't think its worth trying to be more responsive to list owner emails. I agree that its too much to handl

Walt, Someone on irc complained recently about not being able to post to the user's list. It may be that people are sending from addresses that are different than what they used to subscribe, but since its happened twice now, can you check and make sure that there aren't a backlog of em
