I tried this. The load on the system is very low. I increased the limits and I could see more delivery processes, but I found that my Internet connection was already saturated, so this didn't make things any faster. Part of the problem is that this particular email contained a 3.5M pdf, so it was taking forever to deliver each one. Courier finally finished with the bulk of the deliveries last night, so things are back to normal now, but I'd still like to find a solution in case this happens again. -- Bowie ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download new Adobe(R) Flash(R) Builder(TM) 4 The new Adobe(R) Flex(R) 4 and Flash(R) Builder(TM) 4 (formerly Flex(R) Builder(TM)) enable the development of rich applications that run across multiple browsers and platforms.
