Sorry about that Scott.  I think the first time I tested it on 7.06, my
logging tool was overwriting some events or not recording others.  It's now
recording a -qr followed by a -qrlst every queue run on 7.13.  I haven't
tested my new smtp32.exe logger on 7.06, but it probably acts the same way
as 7.13.

My fault for causing that tidbit of confusion.

As far as which is more efficient (2 -qr's (A) or 1 of each (B)), I suppose
it largely depends on what you consider to be your typical mail server use.
My users don't use the IMail list feature.  We have a separate app for that.
So, for me, it seems option B a little inefficient.  Senders essentially
have to wait an extra 30 minutes (up to 30? or at least 30?) before they
receive an undeliverable message from my server.  That being said, my users
aren't complaining about mail performance so it's not an issue for me.

Whereas users who take advantage of the lists would only see a difference if
there were also a lot of other mail in the spool.  (smtp32.exe processes
that only work on Q*.LST files)

There isn't some undocumented optimization flag somewhere, is there?  Where
you can choose between optimizing for lists vs. optimizing for non-list
users?
