Well I didn't mean for it to be an accusation, but rather I
thought that was the ONLY way you can get 24 delays.

Looks like it needs more tuning up. I am sure the mail quantity to
vger is huge. But aside from a huge or numerous hard drives, I don't see

I am a local listowner and have 1/100000 the load and zero
problems. It seems to filter and send a message back out in under 3
minutes. But its a Linux User list and it is growing.
