Sorry - are you saying if the server crashes, and you recover on an other machine, just ignore and sh!tcan all the mail in the queue? I have a slightly different scenario (based on actual hardware running now ;-) Maybe the original question wasn't clear - but let's say we have Server A, and Server B - the file systems are mirrored to a backup drive on the other server so if Server A goes down, Server B can mount and start serving it's content. How do we deal with the messages in the dead Q? They aren't delivered yet. Can they simply be moved to the live Q? m/ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
