Performance under high load will be abysmal if you leave out the bigqueue patches, and you may also want to increase the hash size. The latter is problematic because qmail built with one hash size can't operate on a queue generated by qmail built with a different hash size, so you need to be very careful when upgrading. I don't believe the port allows you to change the hash size, though... DES --=20 Dag-Erling Sm=F8rgrav - des@des.no
