Bill, your assumptions are all correct. >>DISTRIBUTE jobs processed: 480252 15492 > > Are these *all* from other listservs that are cooperating in the > distribute process? That's the total, counting the internally generated ones. So the number of jobs from other servers is this minus the next number. This info is mostly for me in making stats about the algorithm. I need this number so I can calculate ratios from the other numbers, in and of itself it is not important. As a system administrator your main concern would be the number of mail items generated. Since 1.7f, DISTRIBUTE is fast enough that the cycles these jobs use up are just not an issue. >>Outbound DISTRIBUTE jobs: 922649 29763 > > Are these the combined results of the above two groups? No, these are the jobs your server sent to other servers. >>In non-BSMTP format: 141315 4559 > > What are these non-bsmtp files? This is a historical naming convention, nowadays everything is actually sent in BSMTP format. But these particular messages had a single recipient and were for people with headers that require their name and address to be in the "To:" field. >>Recipients: 11427234 368620 That's what you'd need to worry about. Roughly speaking, if this is more than the first "Recipients:" figure (the one for your local lists), you're giving more than you're receiving. PSU is about even, UGA is 8:1. Eric
