Limited resources? <checks calendar> Nope, it's not 1993. We're talking about, in the nominal case, one extra packet that takes one extra RTT to show up. Maybe you run your servers at 99.999999% load, and that extra 0.000001 will put them over the edge. I can only tell you that I, as one admin, would absolutely take the extra load to get proper shutdown behavior. If I need a mailer on my PDP/11 I'll be sure to consider postfix for it's stingy use of resources. Does it compile on Unix version 6? :) -- Leo Bicknell - bickn...@ufp.org PGP keys at http://www.ufp.org/~bicknell/
