vger is frequently down and there is quite a bit of e-mail going around
It was down only because I was in Germany all last week and could only attend to the machine once every 2 or 3 days while I was there...
(last Monday 120.000 on .com-exploder and 50.000 on .edu exploder!)
Could we come up with a scheme to decentralize the mailing lists so that one host cannot result in everything failing and some means of automatic load determination? Sounds complicated... Maybe someone here has an idea to do it in a simple and easy way.
I have a 400MB/day limit by the provider on the .com exploder and I was definitely over it on Monday.
No, it must be centralized to a certain extent, there must be a big red firetruck, driven by one person/site. This is necessary for the same reasons that we centralize the kernel sources at one place/person, with Linus wherever he is.
