Well disk is cheap :-)

I've been a little unhappy with just how hard that poor drive has been
getting hammered anyways (sounds like rapid machine gun fire as Sendmail
iterates through the queue, it's an older Wren drive, and with 752 
queued requests right now it's busy for a fair portion of each half 
hour).

Good incentive for me to get off my duff and do something I guess.

Thanks for the info,
