Yes, I was just busy writing an add-on to my previous mail, when your reply arrived... In fact, it was the idea of making use of the unused_context parameter while concentrating the bulk of the change into a single place that appealed me; but with of course a nicer handling of the fd > FD_SETSIZE case, by duplication of the fd when needed as you suggested. Now, I didn't think about the case of writing to a device; would this be needed in the case of Postfix too? Axel
