something is fishy here, since "queue foo" just tags, which coincidently is very much like "tag foo" - really almost identical codewise. since you're running 5.5, I'll assume ALTQ and thus the problem being gone :) -- Henning Brauer, [email protected], [email protected] BS Web Services GmbH, http://bsws.de, Full-Service ISP Secure Hosting, Mail and DNS.
