Subscribing to the other suse lists is actually the first real problem I have had with the Comcast email, aside from outages every once and awhile. They did say they would terminate my service once when I was doing some consulting and was downloading data files from LLNL's super computer. They said I had exceeded the 250GB per month limit. I asked about purchasing another line so I could double that limit, and they told me where to go.
If you get a business line, I believe, they won't hassle you. At least that's what I've heard, been told, and given my usage, is likely true (i.e. I have an average upload rate of ~1MB/s going, pretty much all the time (busy serving distro's and such, ya know)). That comes to 2.4TB/mo. (assuming my math isn't totally lame), so I'm pretty sure they aren't capping my uploads @ 250GB. My downloads are alot less than that -- maybe 1/5 - 1/15th as much. I'm sure I'm over 250GB d/l on some months, but maybe less on some months, but the upload alone would blow through that limit in less than a week & can't believe they'd only count d/l(?)
I was OK with the email until I could not join some of the other suse lists. I still do not understand why one list can get through, and the others can't. Is it suse, or Comcast?
W/o seeing the bounce messages, unknown. I don't use comcast's mail servers to send out my email, send them out from my static IP direct. Alternate suggestion -- use gmail to sub to the lists and send email out? I'm not sure what requirements they have to allow outgoing or even if it is possible -- but some mail-providers will look at your IMAPS usage and allow outgoing email if you have an active IMAPS session going. Not sure if gmail allows that or not though. I wonder if the FCC will cause any changes that will be beneficial to us? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
