As most of you probably know, NODMGT-L@BITNIC is going to go to using Mail-Via = Distribute next week. In a private exchange of notes, Judith Molka indicated that this is seen as an alternative to using peers. Eric, do you have any thoughts on how the use of Mail-Via= Distribute and peers should relate? If we all start using Mail-Via= Distribute for our lists, should we stop using peers? I'm not sure if it matters in terms of network load- if any server that would be a peer will also distribute, I can't see how using peers can be more efficient than just using Mail-Via= Distribute, although I'm not sure how great the savings will be. I realize Mail-Via= Distribute is not fully implemented yet; I am anticipating what I think it will be, not reflecting on results I have seen. Nick
