Once it gets going, it should not use too much CPU, and then it should only be using CPU when there is information being transfered. What's been sending info for 45.5 hours of CPU? > system's (P-90) info is as follows: Whoo. I hope you aren't serving too many people. Looks like you have 64 MB? That actually might be yuor biggest problem if you get lots of IMAP and stunnels resident on the system at once. -- Crist J.
