7/14 Has all mail been delivered?
\_ In the words of Ted Stevens ("internet expert"):
The internet is not something that you just dump something on.
It's not a big truck. It's a series of tubes. And if you don't
understand that those tubes can be filled, and if they're filled
when you put your message in it, it gets in line, it's gonna be
delayed by anyone who puts into that tube enormous amounts of
material, enormous amounts of material. Ten movies streaming
across that that, internet, and what happens to your own
personal internet? I...just the other day, got internet was
sent by my staff at 10 o'clock in the morning on Friday, I got
it yesterday. Why?
\_ So, I think your answer is, no, it's not all been delivered, never
has been, never will be. Let me rephrase my question. Has mail
been delivered to the extent that it normally would be, or is
there still a significant percentage of the mail from when
sendmail was down that hasn't been delivered yet? It seems that
some of my mail is missing. Not sure if it's just 1 message, or
a significant percentage. -op
\_ I think the intelligent way to interpret this question, is for
someone in the know to tell us if mail was queued on another
machine during extended periods of downtime, and if not,
approximately how long that non-queueing-of-mail went on for. |
