To keep it simple, let's say group1 has a high number of 10 (and a low of 1) -- the files of course are named 1, 2, 3, etc. through 10. No expiration; in fact I'm not expiring this group at all. Now I reboot the server for whatever reason. All of a sudden this group is showing say a high of 7, and a new post that comes in becomes 8, overwriting the original 8 file. I run news.daily and now the high number is correctly back to 10. A related problem, which makes sense, is that any posts that come in before news.daily is run are not sent to clients as new posts. The only way for the client to get them is to "Get all headers". Rick
