The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

	Traffic? maybe not. Load? and additional server process is
 required, and has to listen to client requests. Are you arguing that
 POP service is essentially loadless? Also, POP/IMAP have additional
 capabilities compared to pure mail forwarding.

	A forwarding process also need not do locking of the mail
 spool, etc. We *are* talking about a system with over 200 user
 accounts, I was just remembering the load that the mail/POP server
 ran into at my previous employer (a public university).

	I was also concerned about an alternative offered, which was
 reading and replying to mail on the master machine. Interactive
 sessions definitely do load a machine down.

	As I said, quite diffidently, and, I hope, politely, that I
 speak here because I do not wish us to overstay our welcome at
 novare.
