Three points:
1. Aging spool files to get them out of the spool would certainly be
welcomed! This is one feature I was expecting a while back when looking
at RSCS V1.3 ==> V2.1 -- will it be in V2.2 (enhancements) or V2.3 or later?
Bill: Do you have any further insight on that? Is IBM even thinking of it?
2. I have asked Judy Molka at BITNIC to change 5 lists (LINKFAIL, XMAILER,
BIRREP, TECHREP and INFOREP) to Mail-Via= DISTRIBUTE. They were all
changed between Friday and today. These five are unpeered, "large"
subscription lists. Maybe other lists on LISTSERV @ BITNIC can be
changed too if someone identifies "good" candidates.
(I am aware that numerous lists were created to "quasi-peer" with these
five as BITNIC was unwilling/hesitating to peer or distribute lists
at the time...)
3. I have used :backbone.YES DISTRIBUTE(NO) for my LISTSERV entry in
the PEERS NAMES file. Our master files (PEERS NAMES and LINKSWT FILE)
are always current; we do not participate in the backbone distributions;
we use lists with Mail-Via= Distribution in them; and we still have peered
lists running fine.
