According to Luigi Rizzo: > So I am wondering how are the mail exploders chosen for a given site, > and if there is a possibility for a subscriber to select one which is > closer (networkwise) and/or better connected to his site. They're not really exploders but just sites that gets all domain for a given TLD. For example, mail-relay.fr.freebsd.org gets all mail for .fr (and two or three others I know are in France) through a mailertable entry on freefall. That way, there is nothing to set up on the exploders themselves. Real exploders would take a more complicated system with local majordomos and you would subscribe to the "regional" hubs instead of freefall. It could be done but it was found at the time that the current system worked well enough. I suppose mail-relay.fr.freebsd.org could take all .it traffic if needs be. Please verify with traceroute and tell root@freefall.freebsd.org to change the entry for .it (or add it) if you think it worthwhile. -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- FreeBSD: There are no limits -=- roberto@keltia.freenix.fr FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 3.0-CURRENT #41: Sun Mar 23 23:01:22 CET 1997
