Tucker Withington) Distribution: net Organization: Encore Computer Corp., Wellesley Hills, MA Lines: 11 Keywords: Mail, Sendmail, RA81 I just used my fancy digital watch to time the distance between ^D and & when using mail to deliver a letter: 36 sec.! Neither Mail nor sendmail takes anything like this to invoke directly, and I have frozen my config file. Should I keep looking, or is it really this slow? What's it doing all that time? I don't remember it being that bad, and wonder if I can attribute any of the problem to my nifty new 750/RA81 combo... o.o --tucker ~
