It will create a process and therefor use fileIO and CPU, as it has to look for '/bin/cat', read the file and execute it; therefore reserve memory, etc. etc. etc ... Why not doing it the 'qmail-way'??? $>cat .qmail-emtpy # This will make qmail-local ignore the line as it is 'only' a comment, but not take any further steps for delivering the mail, as one valid instruction (the dot-qmail-file) was found. No need to spawn additional processes or doing some really nifty stuff to make simple thing look really complicated done by a simple instruction :-) -- Best regards Peter Palmreuther mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
