Mon Apr 10 14:05:20 PDT 2000 — The replacement cache adapter arrived this morning and was promptly installed. However, it has been exhibiting the same behavior as the old hardware. After many calls to Cidera we appear to have stabilized the cache adapter and are awaiting a second replacement. Meanwhile, we added 2GB more spool for the *jobs* groups and 2GB more to sonoma.* and sonic.* to increase the article retention time in those groups. It appears that text groups are keeping articles for around 10 days and binary groups for around 3 days. We are continuing to work on increasing our article retention times and on developing some news SPAM filtering. -Kelsey and Eli
