Sort of. If outbound mail to mailing lists is the issue, and you are not very concerned about losing a couple of mails here and there, do all this in RAM (or get ramdisk cards). http://www.kierun.org/academic/ has some beautiful stuff - for high volume exim installs (but he talks about rather expensive kit - netapp fileservers etc ... you'd have to scale things down to what specs you have). Or google for posts by Theo Schlossnagle on exim-users about doing this on linux (XFS as the filesystem IIRC) ... with exim. If you've seen freelotto.com clogging up your logs - Theo consults for them ;) -srs -- Suresh Ramasubramanian <----> mallet <at> efn dot org EMail Sturmbannfuhrer, Lower Middle Class Unix Sysadmin [Linux One Stanza Tip] From : <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> LOST #189 -**< Sub : Manipulating cron jobs >**- crontab -e # edit new/ existing cron job crontab -l # list the cron jobs crontab -r # remove the cron jobs (man crontab for details) _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
