Ian, These are actually attachments that were never sent. You may want to change the location of where your temporary attachments are stored. Change $attachment_dir in config.php
To remove these files you can do something like this (I had to do this recently as well): rm `ls | grep -v *.abook | grep -v *.pref | grep -v *.sig | grep -v *.words` This will remove anything other than the files with those extensions. Try out the command without the rm to see what it lists. ls | grep -v *.abook | grep -v *.pref | ... Or maybe you want to use a regular expression for matching. ----- Brian Malia, Systems Engineer Phone: 800.656.GWIS or 330.656.5511 GWIS Internet Solutions Fax: 330.656.5440 Web site: http://www.gwis.com E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] E-Commerce Business Web Hosting, Fast DSL, ISDN, Leased Line!
