From: chugalug@chugalug.org ------------------------------------------------------ The github was created a couple of days ago. https://github.com/mikegeeklabs/melee I'll have a set of sharable files there by Sunday., with install instructions.

Postfix has been pretty good about sending out 200+ emails quickly, the only thing getting stuck is some RBL issues from GoDaddy, and I've gone through their steps to get off the RBL, it'll probably just take a few days.
