By default, it's single-threaded -- but not really "sequential". It has more to do with how the directory entries are written, and not what you or I would think of as "sequential". There are ways to get more than one Outgoing queue runner working, but that's a very non-standard configuration, and takes more work to maintain. I would like to see Mailman move towards a hashed queue mechanism (like postfix), so that it would be a lot easier to have multiple Outgoing queue runners working at the same time. -- Brad Knowles, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." -- Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790), reply of the Pennsylvania Assembly to the Governor, November 11, 1755 Founding Individual Sponsor of LOPSA.
