If you see Chris' threads you will notice it's gotten very large, large enough that it chokes Chris' own mail server, and he can't use it any more. If so, then using ws.surbl.org instead will speed things up considerably. http://www.surbl.org/ It would be quite useful to know more details about your mail server like what versions of SA, what plugins, how much daily mail volume, anything else the server is running, etc. Jeff C. -- Jeff Chan mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.surbl.org/
