Subject: Mailing lists going to digest mode

Because our listserv processor has become severely overloaded this
semester, our computer center is about to institute a policy in which
all mailing lists whose subscribers are primarily external to Bucknell
will be digested and the digests delivered once a day.  This new
policy will affect the DHCP mailing lists.

In practice, this new policy should actually *improve* service to the
DHCP mailing lists, as listserv processing time is currently averaging
longer than 24 hours (!) (I'm mailing this as 8:40 PM on Thursday, 2/15).

I'll keep up with the listserv processing load here and if the
situation changes - e.g., we find a way to speed up listserv and
sendmail - I'll try to get the mailing lists reinstated to non-digest
mode.

- Ralph
