Re: Need a good bi-directional mail-news gateway
Hi. The cypherpunks list is going through some major rearrangements, and it appears that we need a bi-directional mail-news gateway for the new group alt.cypherpunks and for whatever list(s) come out of the clouds of dust. (The list(s) in question may be done in a distributed fashion across many different machines, to lessen volume (1000+ subscribers, 100+ messages a day), crash vulnerablity, and other problems.) Anybody have experience in running a _really_ high-volume mail-news gateway (or in running distributed lists)? Please cc: any replies to cypherpunks@toad.com Thanks, -Allen
your expected mail volume is 100,000+ messages a day? i run lists that do 200,000+ routinely. recent peak of 350,000 messages does that meet your needs? jmb

Great. Let's run cypherpunks with a government subsidy. ;-). Pulling your leg, just a bit..

much as the irony of the idea appeals, i am not in a position to offer a host/machine to run the list. i *can* offer what i have learned from running the FreeBSD mailing lists for 2+ years. so who has a host/machine, that we can use ;) jmb
