[mapserver-users] MapServer listserv - slow relay?

[Ranga Raju Vatsavai]

Hello Mapserver-ers,

Main problem is defunct users - just today I got 500 bounced mails.
For each of the defunct user server tries several times per day and
for several days before giving up and in the mean time doing additional
work like sending bouncers to me and filling logs. I periodically
purge these users but you guys can imagine going through 100s of 
mails and finding defunct users. I have to investigate a better
way of doing this (if any of you have any suggestions please send
mail to me at vrraju at gis.umn.edu - so we can avoid traffic on
ms-users) but till then please bear with me. I have to bring
back some more services on this server before looking into 
performance issues.

Thanks
Raju
