FLASH: ADMIN: Slow Flasher list

[List Owner]

Hello everyone...


I noticed a couple of people mentioning that the list seems to be a bit 

slow in picking up messages sometimes. This happens for a couple of reasons:


Firstly, the list server capacity is finite, when it gets really busy it 

queues up the messages and delivers them as soon as possible. Unfortunately 

if messages are re-sent they also get added to the end of the queue and the 

problem takes longer to go away. The queueing process isn't terribly 

scientific which is why sometimes messages can take longer than usual to 

get through.


Secondly, if a message has an attachment, asks for a read receipt, or 

contains any kind of encoding e.g. HTML, it needs to be manually sent 

through by me, which introduces a delay. The way to avoid this is, you 

guessed it, make sure your messages don't have attachments and are sent in 

plain text format.


You'll be glad to hear that the new list server is being installed this 

week, it'll take a little longer to migrate the list to it, but in the 

meantime some of the other smaller lists here will move across and ease the 

load. The main advantage is that this is more efficient and will deal with 

a lot of the manual stuff which slows the current list down.


Hope this clears things up, if your message doesn't appear, please give it 

at least a couple of hours before re-sending, no-one wants loads of 

duplicate emails...any problems drop me an email.
