ouch it is not really designed for that ! ;) > If the timeout is 5 minutes, and there > is constant SMTP activity, I estimate that this could lead to 15,000 or > more invalid timer entries in the queue.

Alternatively we need to have the option to remove entrys rather than invalidating them. So when you configure scheduler you should be able to se a falg to say delete entry. By default it will just validate them (as this is more performance sensitive) but in cases like James you can also delete them. -- Cheers, Peter Donald -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
