The trouble is that practically all mailers will write the queue file to disk before they do *anything* else, for safety reasons. If I understood the initial message correctly, this is his problem.

I have a feeling that it can be turned off in sendmail, but you'd need to check. -Dom -- | Semantico: creators of major online resources | | URL: http://www.semantico.com/ | | Tel: +44 (1273) 722222 | | Address: 33 Bond St., Brighton, Sussex, BN1 1RD, UK. |
