Mere 0.5-0.7 seconds per recipient, but.. [...] How about some elitism here? Dedicate a certain number of streams to everything-except-gmail, so MTAs from the 21st century can get their mail faster, and set the rest on gmail-only. Slows down gmail and speeds up the rest?
Aargh ... what did us poor folk do to deserve this? I understand ~2000 of those Gmail users are only spectators, but most others don't have a choice. In my case, my university doesn't allow mailboxes to go beyond a certain limit and only a couple of weeks worth of lkml would eat that up. And I suspect other free web mail servers that offer 3 GB of space too would be equally slower. But I do hope someone from Google listened to this -- half a second per recipient ... *sucks*. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
