Yes it will. I think you'll probably need to find some alternative way to back up your users' mail. If you want to stick with this approach, at the very least you'll need to add some scripts to run periodically and delete any user emails older than such-and-such date. -- Clifton -- Clifton Royston -- LavaNet Systems Architect -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWJD?
