I've got it taken care of where I can clean up the old .popbull files after qpopper has read them and added the count into the bulldb, but I don't have any idea how to handle cleaning up the db of accounts that have been removed. Anyone have anything in place to do this? I can probably do it with Perl's GDBM_File, but I would imagine I'll get the same locking trouble that qpopper was/is having. ...or even worse, if GDBM_File doesn't lock it, I could see the bulldb becoming fried. I'd just let it build up and not worry about accounts in it that no longer exist, but when a customer signs up and wants a login name that was formerly used, the new customer would get the old customer's bulletin count. I suppose I could just scrap the old bulletins and the bulldb before I post a new bulletin... right? Jason -- Jason Englander <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Systems Administrator - InterLink L.C.
