But it's still in the database until (at the very least) online maintenance the next morning; and depending on the settings of Deleted Item Recovery, perhaps for much longer. Regards, Michael B.

Well that's not happy. I was thinking about upgrading, because I'm just not finding the time to put into nagios, but if that's the case, I may have to reconsider. Kurt
