YMMV. --Alan And in my case, completely impratical. We use a cluster of machines to handle mail. 2 mail exchangers and 2 customer smtp/pop3/imap servers. All 4 machines have access to the same mail spool using maildir (no locking problem there). We do filtering on all machines (all scan for infections and spam). A central bayes DB is the best solution. All machines benefit from the ham and spam learned from other machines. -- Thanks, --------------------------------------------------------- Joseph W.
