Stressed? Are you serious? Have you measured an actual problem, or are you inventing one that you think exists? Your SQL server almost certainly caches queries and does very little work for these lookups. > There should be a posibility to use a blacklist of unknown users > before authenticate the user. You could try using the "spamtrap" feature of the bofh file (see man courier(8)). I'm mostly sure that's checked before user lookups. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
