I'm not sure that you can't. Concurrent updates to lists are protected by locks. I think there may be an issue with queues. I believe it is possible (but a very small window) for two concurrent qrunners processing the same slice of the same queue to both pick up the same entry. This might be avoidable by having the separate instances process different slices of the queues, although this would probably require bin/mailmanctl changes. It may also be avoidable by having each instance have it's own qfiles and only sharing access to lists/, archives/ and locks/. There is probably an issue with master-qrunner locks, and you'd probably only run the crons on one instance. There is also an issue with the data/ directory as held messages are stored there so it may need to be shared too. It may turn out to have too many gotchas, but I wouldn't rule it out without investigating. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
