I don't think this is true. For starters, most of the corrupted database issues that pass thru this list are either not a database issue at all, or are easily fixed with a simple rebuild (something that probably should be done from time to time anyway). And the ones that are corruption, are usually traceable to something outside of emailer (bad hard drive, or too many system crashes while Emailer is running in teh background).. And I think most people on this list have DBs well over 12 meg, and rarely have a problem with it. I know mine hovers between 40 and 80 all the time (based on how much job related email I have stored, it all gets purged when a job is complete). I don't know when the last time was that I had a corrupted database. I do from time to time have to rebuild as I see slightly funny things going on, but I expect this to be the case because I routinly add and purge thousands of emails. Put that on top of the fact that I crash my machine on a regular basis with emailer open (hazards of testing software), and I have never been surprised that my database starts to get funky. But I would hardly blame that on an instability issue on Emailers part I honestly can't think of any occasion that someone has had a spontanious, not easily fixable, corrupted database. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
