You should definitely use the automatic deletion feature of tmda-pending and run it from cron every day. This will save you loads of work. For your other problem, instead of running tmda-pending interactively to look for real messages that were never confirmed, run a second cron job once a day: tmda-pending -Cbs and mail the output to yourself. This will send you a four-line summary per message. The -C switch causes tmda-pending to show you only new messages since the last time you ran tmda-pending with the -C switch. In other words, if you run this once a day, you'll see only the new messages for the day. That list is pretty simple to weed through for valid, unconfirmed messages. The summary will also contain a clickable link allowing you to release the message from within your mail program (assuming it supports HTML mailto: links). Those two cron jobs, together, might help make your use of TMDA not quite so onerous. <wink> Tim _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
