missing mail

[Darin Perusich]

the delivery method you are refering to is the 'digest' method, which is 
currently not implemented and in majordomo abit unreliable in my 
experience.

i'll be upgrading the nflug email server by the end of the year, fingers 
crossed and i'll be moving the list software from majordomo to mailman. 
this will give us a nice web frontend, digest functionality that works, 
and all the other mailman nicities.

since bob gave a great explenation about mail delivery and mailing list 
i'll not get into that. majordomo i relatively quick at processing 
messages sent to the list. the only thing that slows it down are 
unavialable and slow mail servers on the recieving end, there is 
currently 1 list member whos isp's smtp server has been down since about 
3am. these messages will sit in the queue and a attempt to resend will 
take place every 30 minutes for 4 days then removed.
