I'm not sure if t would be reliable using data files either, but I seem to recall some discussion in the past about the atomicity of the append processes. If however, your lists are maintained in a database you could safely use the DB_BARE_APPEND and DB_CONFIRM_APPEND config vars to maintain the global lists ([auto] CDB and DBM lists may also work for this). In fact since these would be global lists appended to by all the potential for having a large number of entries is quite good, so a DB based list would be of benefit. _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
