Also is > there a way to disable files from going into this directory. /var/spool/mqueue is outgoing mail. if it can't reach the destination, the mail will wait there, untill timeout. i would suggest checking /var/log for extranious log files (really old messages.x.gz, and so on) before you even consider deleting the mqueue files. the only real way to prevent files from appearing in the mqueue is to turn off mail, or move the mail queue (mqueue) somewhere else. hope this gives you some ideas, -- jan -------/ f. johan beisser /--------------------------------------+ http://caustic.org/~jan jan@caustic.org "if my thought-dreams could be seen..
