Subject: Test messages, an explanation
Greetings all,
Sorry for the test messages. I had to send them out under real conditions
to assess the load that they are putting on my ISP. For those who
understand Unix/Linux loads, when sending out a batch of mail, I would
frequently see loads over 30, and once saw one at around 78!
This load made them have to adjust things which would then adversely
affect other users who were trying to connect, and thus reflecting poorly
on the service that they could provide. I have fixed things now so that
the list can go out and they won't be so severely affected.
Thanks again for your patience.
