Userlist should be very fast. The time of copying out the mailusers file (that for 1MB size should be like 0.1s) and the time of reading each line. Are you sure you're not issuing other commands, like, for example, the ones to query the mailbox/spool? Disk activity should be almost NIL for userlist. - Davide - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
