As long as you have a fairly sane mmap implementation (most modern unixes do), this isn't the case for cyrus (well, I suppose it depends on your definition of "large memory resource"). That said, the type of connections held open by an IMAP proxy between webmail sessions aren't holding a mailbox open. -Rob -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Rob Siemborski * Andrew Systems Group * Cyert Hall 207 * 412-268-7456 Research Systems Programmer * /usr/contributed Gatekeeper
