It is clear that this is a controversial issue. Perhaps the resolution is to add the option, but require a compile time configuration to include the feature. Then it would certainly have zero impact on anybody who chose not to include it in the binary. If you have it in the binary but do not turn it on, the impact is a flag test every time Exim might do an fsync(). I suspect this is a very small cost compared with everything else that's going on. -- Philip Hazel University of Cambridge Computing Service Get the Exim 4 book: http://www.uit.co.uk/exim-book -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-dev Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ##
