I tried dns_available no before, but that seems to have been done the trick by disabling bayes as well. My timings are mostly 300-500 with some 1000ms. Seems timing drops to these levels after disabling dns, but my queue doesn't start dropping until I disable both, then wham, down she goes...thanks. But now, what do I need to know about these features, is it my Berkeley DB? And DNS seems to be fine on the server. -- Robert
