New Server is On-line...

From 07:30-11:15 AM EDT - I put on another primary server within the Rennlist network. To date, it is the largest and fastest one we have brought in so far. Specifically, this system will now be the one that has the primary task of sending e-mails to the lists, so I believe that you should experience improved mail receipt to post times (especially when the outgoing mail queues have caught up from the backlog accrued this AM)...

.. Also note, if you are accessing from an NNTP connection - please let me know if you do not experience improved connection/download speeds later in the day...

.. I also made some core programming changes, hopefully eliminating some pesky bugs - yes, including the dreaded "double-double post post" if you cross-post a single note to two or more lists (like you should only get one copy of this post regardless of how many lists you are subscribed to...)

.. Finally - this system is also re-indexing the archive databases (messages), so these should be current and up to date in a few days (we have 22GB of message databases to re-index - which is now running as a background task)
