I was having trouble getting it to work right on the new server (Debian Etch/Sendmail). The permissions weren't right, no matter how hard I tried or what I did. After extensive googling I discovered I wasn't alone. The server would bog down with CPU and memory usage going through the roof. Because of client needs I couldn't wait any longer. I switched to using MySQL and all that went away. It also gives me centralized configuration for all clients. It also allows me to write a PHP program for clients to tweak their configuration, or to use one that is already available. -- Raquel ============================================================ I hold it, that a little rebellion, now and then, is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical. --Thomas Jefferson
