Is that spelled out in your TOS? Hi, just my 2 cents... I agree with Jason. I was on the client end of the exact thing. Our parent company helpdesk sent me an email saying that I was poping once minute and it was too much so I should set my client to every 10 minutes. They claimed i was using too much resources on the (old Mac FirstClass email) server. This request actually started a bit of a ripple thru our IT, and relations between the 2 entities suffered. By the way, I did need to check my mail that often as I was dealing with very timely issues. Anyway, as the thread ends up going to, excessive log entries are best dealt with in the logging facility, not at the user end. -- Pete Nesbitt, rhce -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
