Squatter shouldn't be causing "load spikes" unless there's some resource contention for lock files, etc. You should also make sure that if you're running cyr_expire, you're NOT running it concurrently with squatter. Bad things happen.* To get around this, I created a "nightly" shell script which runs cyr_expire, then squatter, and kick that off as a scheduled task in my cyrus.conf. * The bad things come into play if expire & squatter are processing the same mailbox at the same time. Squatter will probably just "stop", and not tell you why. -rob ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
