Yep, a restart trumps a reload. I.e. things that need reloading will get changed at restart as well, but things that need a restart won't get changed during a reload. Some things can only be set on the startup of the postmaster. i.e. restart ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
