Just out of curiosity: could you give me link to any document that presents in an easy-to-understand form the concept of those processes running on IPVMs? Because all documentation I could find is pretty vague, and from what I have read - I might be wrong of course, so feel free to correct me - I have the impression that there is nothing permanent, "solid" in this infrastructure that might be suitable for running long-term processes, which are - to my understanding - quasi-necessary for a mail service. All processing seems to be a kind of microservices that just appear and disappear, get some data and return some result. This might be suitable for most typical web applications that usually do little more than fetch/transform/store data in a single transaction, might be suitable for some types of numerical computations (of course! - that's what distributed computing systems were initially invented for), but I don't think it's suitable for a MTA, for which keeping the state is a crucial thing. If anybody wants to build a MTA on top of such infrastructure, it would probably need to have a totally different concept and design than the MTAs we are using today. As this seems to be largely off-topic for this list, feel free to reply to me directly if you wish. -- Regards, Jaroslaw Rafa r...@rafa.eu.org -- "In a million years, when kids go to school, they're gonna know: once there was a Hushpuppy, and she lived with her daddy in the Bathtub." _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
