> no, with 1Gb of RAM I'm not sure I'd be comfortable allocating a RAM disk, You don't need a very large RAM disk. Let's say the largest message you accept is 10MB, and you limit your max slaves to 20. Then, at most, you'll have 200MB of mail to scan at any given time, and a 600MB disk will be more than enough (leaving room for unpacking/processing the messages.) That's worst-case; in practice, you almost never get 20 maximum-sized messages all at once, and even a 128MB RAM disk will be enough. You absolutely must put /var/spool/MIMEDefang on a RAM disk to have any kind of decent performance. > Yes, I looked that script over before I started testing mine.

If the multiplexor is croaking, it's hardly in a position to do any notification. :-) Regards, David. _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
