It still uses the temp file when necessary, but that seems to be only 10-20% of sessions. Yes, it's an important feature for our tech support too, and incorporated into some of the status scripts they use. If you enable the keep-temp-drop parameter, qpopper will keep the temp files around so you can check their date. -- Clifton -- Clifton Royston -- LavaNet Systems Architect -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWJD?
