hi jeffrey, asking cron to concatenate multiple files to write to the disk every five minutes - opposed to an integrated capability of majordomo, just reading files - seems really horrible to me. :) I was wondering if I was the only people to manage multiple mailing-lists with majordomo. > Furthermore, do you really need it to be every five minutes?
