We processed each item about 600 times a day (25/hour or a little over 2 minutes per poll). I'm not sure whey this didn't show up sooner if it was on 1.7c. We had three errors from three different addresses (two different users at one host and another user at another user) between 9/16 and 9/19. We issued over 5660 information mail items for those three jobs. Marty
