Ok, so a dumb question to the servermode thread....
Would using "cat" or "cp" (copy) on a spool file while someone
POP's in cause any problems? We have a couple of people who we
make scripts for that automatically back up their spool files
on a schedule, and sometimes we use cat to scan for keywords
in known virus emails. I wouldn't want to start enabling
servermode and then find out that cp or cat interfere.
Any idea if they do?
Thanks,
Tim Olson
