Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi... I sent the following email out to a friend/client this evening, and he just sent it back to me, as is displayed, to point out a potential problem. I'm running sendmail 8.8.5 on my 2.2 server, and am curious if anyone has any ideas on why there is a space between the To: header and the Subject: header? The complete message follows... Thanks... =================================================== Date: Wed, 16 Apr 1997 00:13:14 -0300 (ADT) From: The Hermit Hacker To: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Subject: Mailing List Optimizer... Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Hi... The tlb code that I have for doing the mail splitting comes with a script that goes through and cleans up a mailing list. Its two main activities are to sort the list (by domains) and to remove all the 'extraneous information', which is everything except for the email address itself. If I run it against netnotify, it produces a file that is 200k in size, vs the 300k that netnotify currently is. I don't recall if there is a reason why subscriptions aren't being strip'd by default of the extraneous information, but the reduced size of the file *could* result in faster subscribe/unsubscribes, since there is less data that has to be manipulated. I haven't installed the stripped version, I just ran the program to see what the result would look like...its up to you whether you want this to be done or not...:) Marc G.
