Next monday (october the 2nd), I will remove from the backbone any EARN server
running with a version of PEERS NAMES older than 09/22. I have been getting an
increasing amount of errors messages from EARN servers about servers that
could not be found in PEERS NAMES. This is of course a pain for me and the
other coordinators to discard, but above all it means that files for the US
which ought to have been sent the "normal" way, via DISTRIBUTE, had to get
exploded somewhere in Europe because the server could not figure out what the
"next server" is. Removing these servers from the backbone should decrease the
load on the network.
EARN postmasters are reminded that they can keep PEERS NAMES and LINKSWT FILE
up to date in 2 ways, either by allowing Turgut to update them, or by AFD'ing
to them from a US server and then storing them manually on their server (with
the NODIST option).
