If it's going to act as an MTA, I'm pretty sure it's an RFC violation (in spirit if not in letter) to use a volatile RAM disk instead of a hard drive. Granted forwarding usually goes fast on a low traffic server, but spooling can happen for a number of reasons. If your machine B accepts mail from A to C because C is offline, it is now the only machine responsible for making sure that message gets to C. A power failure now causes mail loss. So I'd put a little hard disk in there and add the hdsupp.lrp, then mount that disk as your mail spool. -- Jack Coates Monkeynoodle: A Scientific Venture... _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
