Paul, Yes i saw very similar problems when trying to implement greylisting using Jonas' code. I ended up NOT using greylisting because of this problem, much to my dismay. I wrote similar scripts to yours, and the insert silently failed. I assumed this was corruption in the DB_File. I was unable to find or write anything to check the consistency of the db. I would remove the db and let is start collecting triples again. After a few 10-thousand records, it would get "corrupt" and stop adding data. I was unable to resolve the problem.... sorry i can't be more help. ray _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
