seul-edu-owner goes to me. I read your mail and stuck it on my todo list,
which unfortunately has gotten very large lately. :(
Classes just started again, and I'm helping to teach a big class on network
and computer security, so it's eating a lot of my time.

If you give me detailed instructions on how to make the majordomo digest
happen, I'll see what I can do. I'm on a redhat 4.2 system currently.
Sorry for the delays...

network/host load isn't an issue. The geda-dev list hammers the majordomo
server much harder than seul-edu ever will. :)
