And I've moved my sa-update script from /etc/cron.daily, to /etc/cron.weekly, plus added a day field valid number to the crontab that runs rdj that is not sunday. I hope this helps. If everyone did this, your load should go down quite a bit. I really appreciate the service and I thank this group very much. Between this and some really aggressive procmail rules, I'm getting only 2 to 4 trash messages a day squeeking through. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
