An alternate solution, since I assume you want the mail once you get back from your trip, is to use a filter program to send all mail to this list to /dev/null. procmail, mailagent, and filter can do the job. HTH, -D On Wed, Dec 20, 2000 at 10:28:50AM -0500, Eileen Orbell wrote: > Hi all, > >

I think you are right nate. When I started with Linux a couple years ago, the 2.0 series was current (like 2.0.36 or something). It was then that I read in a how-to that even if you make a really big swap partition, only 128MB would be used. Last night I tried to confirm this with my current 2.
