if you're using qmail-scanner, that's normal. I was doing some load testing on a customer's mail cluster and brought the system load to over 75, yet the system was completely responsive to everything. It was as if the machine was idle. And you are using a far more powerful machine than this was :) -Jeremy -- Jeremy Kitchen Systems Administrator [EMAIL PROTECTED] Kitchen @ #qmail on EFNet - Join the party! .....................
