Creates the response posts for both ELIST and netmails, sends them to        its       uplink (250/1) who processes them immediately to all down and up links when       then polls depending on schedules set up in various script in every one or       three hourly periods.              For some nodes they go out immediately or close to it - depending on traffic.              My connection with Virgin Media is using a 276Mb down and 27Mb up links but       this will change as of 1st April as the discounted rate dies and I will have        to       have a new contract at the lowest speed as close to 35 GB pounds per month as       possible - I am retired with limited income (pension).              The speed is more likely to revert to around 100 - 120 Mb down and 10 Up.              They are all increasing rates by over 10% this year.              Vincent              --- Mageia Linux v8 X64/Mbse v1.0.8/GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20180707        * Origin: The Elist Maintainer (2:250/1)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 18/200 25/0 90/1 105/81 106/201 120/340 123/131       SEEN-BY: 129/305 153/7715 218/700 221/1 226/30 227/114 229/110 111       SEEN-BY: 229/112 113 114 206 307 317 400 424 426 428 470 664 700 250/0       SEEN-BY: 250/1 3 4 5 6 8 11 12 13 263/0 266/512 275/1000 282/1038       SEEN-BY: 292/854 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45 460/58 467/4       SEEN-BY: 633/280 712/848 1321 3634/12       PATH: 250/1 292/854 229/426           |
