Something like that... I would (well, not with sendmail, but... 8-). You've got a set of tasks [the mailboxes] that aren't all that heavy, and are hard to parallelize, and a set of tasks [the scanning] that are insanely heavy and easy to parallelize. I mean, it's like getting a personal message from Olympus to split these tasks along the bright neon lines! -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd@over-yonder.net Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream.
