Possibly - but you might also want to reduce logging in general if that might be the problem. In my case the overload was really coming from remote router and firewall logging but unlike the remote udp logging which will just drop data if the reader can't keep up, the connections over local unix sockets will block the writer. I mentioned it because it wasn't at all obvious from the symptoms what was really causing things to hang. --- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
