Is this a BUG or is just to queue the messages? does not include delivery? hhmmm......not good ;) sounds like you are creating a copy of the message for each and every receiptent. what big is this monthly message? try using bulk_mailer and majordomo together. you will queue one message for every X receiptents. (X is a command line arguement to bulk_mailer). what disks are you using? slow disks will hurt, very performance very badly. jmb -- Jonathan M.
