Earlier this afternoon, ruptime reported at 15 minute load aver of over 19,000,000 for seismo. Fortunately, the 5 minute average was only 219. Maybe the mail traffic is getting out of hand... ---rick

I've been watching the UUCP summary report of the traffic between decvax and ucbvax since we separated netnews traffic out from UUCP on that link, about three weeks ago. Last week, we sent them seven megabytes. They sent us four. The week before, we sent them eight megabytes. They sent us two. All of that is Email, because we've done no UUCP file transfers, and the netnews is flying between us through a different mechanism. ... and to think that I used to say that "mail traffic is a drop in the bucket compared to netnews." (It was, when I last said it: two years ago, as the postmaster/netnews admin for "dual"). times, they are a changin', Erik E. Fair ucbvax!fair fair@ucbarpa.berkeley.edu

i've been keeping statistics on how much mail has been passing through seismo since we converted to 3.2 over a month ago, and the preliminary numbers are ~ 6.3 megabytes per day corresponding to ~ 7800 letters per day. dsc `often seen it on the t.v. tiger run around the tree, follow the leader, run and join in the battle'

Can't say I'm surprised. I checked my palias database: 10333 sites 9812 go through seismo Now, this site doesn't generate much volume of mail, but if these figures are at all indicative of other sites on the eastern seaboard, seismo is in danger of being killed by love. (from pathalias if no-one else :-) Is seismo headed the way of ihnp4? Connectivity can be a dangerous thing! -- ../Dave Mason, TM Software Associates (Compilers & System Consulting) ..!{utzoo seismo!mnetor utcsri utgpu lsuc}!tmsoft!mason
