I will change its files as necessary though. Hopefully having the dedicated mail server will relieve any congestion. We went a bit overkill for a mail server anyway, a Cyrix 200+ with 32MB RAM, 2 Gig /var partition, for a server that pushes 3000 messages on its best day. The other option for queuing is to have machines on other domains do it for us. We have a few domains we can use instead of using tbe machines, as those machines would definately queue rather than try to deliver the mail. Thanks for all the help! ______________________________________________________________ -Gary Margiotta Voice: (973) 835-9696 TBE Internet Services Fax: (973) 256-4605 http://www.tbe.net E-Mail: gary@tbe.net
