I'm sure you could create a lock file to ensure only one is run at a time, though I bet it probably does that itself... What are the possibilities: 1. Any attempts to open the DB fail. That's what's happening anyway, so no change... 2. Any attempts to open the DB crash. That's probably OK too, the lmtp delivery will fail, and the MTA will try again later 3. Any attempts to open the DB freeze. Worst case, probably not traumatic though Well, seems it would be worth trying to run the recovery from my point of view. At least, that's all I did, and I didn't stop cyrus, and it seemed to work fine... Rob
