If Num_Out ever exceeded the max flow rate of the servers there would be a bit of a problem. Depending how many outgoing MX servers etc it may be a total non-issue or could be a problem looming - only the server maintainers can really see the load. However, if things go slow enough there is a potential problem that the lists may overwhelm the outgoing MX servers. The observation I had is simply that the delay (which is in the outgoing MX) has increased from 1-2 mins to 10 possibly higher. It is the change in the delay that I thought was of interest. What to do with that observation is up to the list/mx maintainers I'd imagine. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
