Hopefully someone knows of the following problem and email's the answer to <mailto:cdm@aculink.net?subject=Re:%20Snail's%20Pace>, because my mailing list address is blocked with 9,300 messages. Somehow my email is downloaded at a snail's pace. For every one message, it is taking approximately one minute to download from the ISP. I recently upgraded from LM7.0 to LM8.0. LM7.0 work just fine! A module is loaded that allows ipchains to fully function under kernel 2.4.3-20. Sendmail 8.11.3-1 is the MTA and fetchmail 5.7.4-5 retrieves the email from the ISP. All the messages are filtered and separated into their individual slots with procmail 3.15.1-2. *None* of the configurations used in sendmail, fetchmail, or procmail have changed and no errors were reported. It's not necessary to abide by the below attached "Note:" (it's a standard attachment). The first paragraph address is sufficient enough for *my* messages. Note: When you reply to this message, please include the mailing list/newsgroup address and my email address in To:. ********************************************************************* Signed, SoloCDM - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org
