Right, I agree 100%.. Combined this with the fact that you mentioned that you never had any problems with v4.x, I tend to think there is something with v5.x. I have several servers running v4.x and qmail-scanner, with f-prot, without problems.. I just wish I had something else to offer, but cannot think of anything else at the moment. -- Gary
