I would agree, 80k is way too much for resent e-mails and our Mdaemon server simply can't handle it as Linux is able to delivery much more efficiently. However, that being said, I believe that the default install of Open Protect uses Sendmail. Our Open protect server is a default install of RH8 and then a standard install of Open Protect with only the recommended settings changed in the CONF file. Inside of the Sendmail configuration, I have it forwarding messages based on Domain to different mail servers. The one in question is to the Mdaemon server, in this case.

I have checked the qmail-send code and it doesnt care whether the queue file name corresponds to the inode number. so much for the rant!!! and well coming to mails which are sent twice, MailScanner's design makes sure you dont lose a single mail what may come, but then there is a possibility for a mail sent twice, but 80,000 times is lil too much :). cheers, G. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Oracle 10g Get certified on the hottest thing ever to hit the market...
