(...) The way pair sets up their servers, they don't go through any mail relays before sending out mail - and since that IP isn't LUGNET's (or pair's for that matter), it must be a server between LUGNET and your mail server. As far as the Bayesian (...) (21 years ago, 5-Mar-04, to lugnet.admin.nntp, lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Yeah, we're going to examine all of the data and see which should be mounted with which special options. Some stuff will be mounted 'sync' to reduce the chance of data loss in the event of power failure or system crash, neither of which should (...) (21 years ago, 1-Mar-04, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

Speed, size, cost, and reliability are always a problem; tape systems seem to always be a generation behind what disk drives need (and with the relative demand curves, they are not going to catch up).
