Some server support the "XPAT" (no, wait, it's called something else) which allows you to say "XPAT MESSAGE-ID 1-1000". Or something like that. It's very fast when dealing with headers that are in the .overview files. -- Home is where the cat is. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread

Nice idea; I hadn't thought of it that way. When two articles with the same Message-ID appear, the second of these are ignored, which is what we want. So, yes, one could use an nnvirtual group to "soft-switch" from one server to another for a group. The problem is that we want to do this with, say, 100 groups, and nnvirtual is slow. But something along those lines would do the trick. -- Home is where the cat is. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread
