Is it only when searching for the network? Since upgrading to exim4, I experience a long delay during "starting MTA" in the boot sequence. This is on a desktop permanently connected with a manually assigned IP address. It's a minor irritation, because reboots are infrequent but on a laptop, it must be a "pain in the *ss" Regards Clive -- http://www.clivemenzies.co.uk strategies for business -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
