im sure it does. but it also decreases WPM. and starting to
capitialize after doing email for 7 years isn't going to be
something i want to do :)

yeah at the time it was 258 currently running processes for
mailman. i increased the # of concurrent mailman connections
to 50 and they all went away after a few minutes. load went
way up but it processed a bunch more mail. i guess i can
leave it at that safely.

looks like load spiked to about 10. which is fine..i just
was not sure what was a safe level for # of concurrent
connections, the online help wasn't very helpful :)

thanks
