None. IMail uses the NT SAM to find and authenticate users, only using the Registry keys for additional user settings if a user exists. If the user is not in the SAM, the Registry key will not be touched. I suppose you could argue that the the overall size of the Registry tree and indices may have a very tiny impact with a large number of orphans (3000 is not at all large). > Should I remove these entries from the Windows registry?

The mailall utility queries the SAM, not the Registry, to find users, so only the current users would get the message. No new directories or mailboxes would be created. -Sandy ------------------------------------ Sanford Whiteman, Chief Technologist Broadleaf Systems, a division of Cypress Integrated Systems, Inc. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------ To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
