Thank you for taking one for the team. It is indeed hard to say that one's seriously competing in the Indy 500 when one shows up at the starting line with a Yugo. Less snarkily, one of the ways that people often get themselves into trouble -- in terms of requiring excessive resources -- is that they create complex architectures and feature sets that are neither necessary nor desirable. I've "fixed", for a loose value of that term, a lot of mail systems not by addition, but by subtraction. Reducing complexity, removing code, minimizing the work done on a per-message (and per-byte) basis yields architectures which behave more predictably, require less human attention, scale MUCH better, and function tolerably well under duress. ---rsk _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://chilli.nosignal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mailop
