So your situation begs the question as well --- what the hell are those
tmp messages still hanging around for? I have a SMTP server that queue's
my mail (only) to it's own spool directory. I fire the mail off at my

regard since I posted this message ;^) I'm just curious about this
sporadic behavior. Later...
