LOL. This is a horrible subject line.? I've been trying to resolve a DDOS issue, and ignoring a lot of email.? Here I had been thinking this was a sex-spam, and I just got around to wondering why the spam system isn't working quite right and they kept coming in.? :P Not sure if this was suggested, but use SSD's.? With a ton of mail combined with Maildir random reads/writes, SSD's are like night and day. Rick
