Many people who read the list archives just follow instructions blindly, and won't know to do this. > On my machine: > > /dev/ram0 483886 46 458840 1% /var/spool/MIMEDefang > /dev/ram1 483886 132675 326211 29% /var/spool/bayes You've got a lot more RAM than I have to spare for this (500MB for each ramdisk). Also, you end up using double for the bayes database because the DB code caches a lot of the database in RAM. Using a journal for the bayes database should result in acceptable performance under most circumstances. -- Jeff Rife | Sam: How's life in the fast lane, Normie?
