umm, sendmail had a lot of problems 6-7 years ago, but supposedly has improved. i wouldn't know, i switched to exim back around 1996, and guess what -- in 1996, exim handled mailing list loads well out of the box. i'm talking about 2000-3000 subscriber lists and 25-35 email messages a day. i'm told postfix and qmail do good jobs with mailing lists as well. richard -- Richard Welty rwelty@averillpark.net Averill Park Networking 518-573-7592 Unix, Linux, IP Network Engineering, Security
