Expectations are dropping lower by the minute. Qmail is great stuff, in fact I run qmail for our inhouse company mail here, but it is the worst mailer to use for a mailing list machine. Try zmailer instead if performance is what you want. And dump Majordomo. Instead install procmail and use it with Smartlist. That will perform very nicely on a 486 machine. ******************************************************** Michael Dillon voice: +1-650-482-2840 Senior Systems Architect fax: +1-650-482-2844 PRIORI NETWORKS, INC. http://www.priori.net "The People You Know.
