[SLUG] Where is your /usr/local?

I like to have /home on a separate partition to the root filesystem, so that if I want to upgrade the distro then I can pretty much replace the whole root filesystem. (I usually make a new / and install to that, and change over when all is looking good.) But I just realised that unless you make a

[SLUG] Bulk Mail Etiquette

As a matter of Netiquette, how many individual emails should be sent upstream to one's ISP in a single connection? As an exercise I have just written a shell script that dumps individualised emails into nullmailer's queue for the first n addressees in one of my mailing lists, then flushes the

Re: [SLUG] Bulk Mail Etiquette

Not sure if mailman has the ability but in PHPList you can throttle the speed that the mails are sent out. I have a client that has over 1000 in its list - All I do is set it up so it sends out a single email every second. Takes a bit longer but does not impact the server. > On 2/16/07, Robert Tho

Re: [SLUG] Bulk Mail Etiquette

exim will wait for the next queue runner, rather than delivering straight away (its prefered method) with envelopes over 10 messages so regardless of how you throttle it, you may find your host just sitting on its hands for a while. Dean [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Not sure if mailman has the ab

Re: [SLUG] Bulk Mail Etiquette

this is of course configurable, but the default is 10 as rev. rumble just pointed out, in this case exim will then sort the emails and try to optimise sending. so from your end, its helpful to sort the emails by domain before sending. Dean Dean Hamstead wrote: exim will wait for the next queue
