Grrrrr. Evidently there was a period in the last 24 hours when the list server(s) were blocked by spamcop.net.

I said I'd report back on the time for the bytea conversion. dbmail_messageblks and associated toast files of approximately 14.2GB took right at 4.5 hours to complete. This is running on a Quad PIII 550 with 4GB RAM and UltraWide2 SCSI Raid 5 array. The postgres server was running other requests at the time. Load on the server did not increase significantly during the process.

Cheers.
