The load on the system just about crashed the server and certainly effected the throughput of the other lists hosted on freelists.org. To alleviate the problem, I have just altered the list configuration to NOT allow attachments to si-list. However, an alternater arrangement is in the works that will allow list users to post files for download by those who have an interest in them. This way, server bandwidth will not be consumed in sending large attachments tpo 2.4K users when they may be of interest to only a small percentage of the recipients, but at the same time there will be a mechanism for providing the files to those who want them. Details on the file posting arrangement will follow in the next couple of days. In the interim, attachments will be dumped by the system when they are found. -Ray Anderson ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list Old list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list Old list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list Old list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu
