You know better, I know you have seen the script and how unbecoming it is becoming :), Its getting me in arms with my people what with mail delays etc.)) well , u need to give us infor like your cron errors , hw far u have gone in resolving wat u have discovred here , your deadends etc .But also since yo concern seems to be mail delays i suggest u look @ other factors like the bandwidth of the link , processes , etc Mail delays are a result of several factors .Else try the archives or google or sendmail docs.
