Depending on the nature of the service shutdown, files could definitely be orphaned. I say this because, like you, I'm not so confident about the neat shutdown and restart of the ORF service. A bigger problem than the orphans is that moment of leakage, though. > The problem is really finding a way to reliably restart ORF in a > script.

Gotta agree. The rblpolicyd functionality is rare at the free/low-cost price point, and new and untested even on *nix (though sa-exim has been able to do the same for Exim for a couple of years, a kind of weird latency if you ask me). --Sandy ------------------------------------ Sanford Whiteman, Chief Technologist Broadleaf Systems, a division of Cypress Integrated Systems, Inc. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SpamAssassin plugs into Declude! http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/SPAMC32/download/release/ Defuse Dictionary Attacks: Turn Exchange or IMail mailboxes into IMail Aliases! http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/exchange2aliases/download/release/ http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/ldap2aliases/download/release/ --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
