Hi! steven,

That's what is happening now.  I have over 1.100 messages in the dupe area.  I
might set the maintenance to keep them for 3 days only and be done with them.

I found out how -not- to do that too many times on a test system here (with
Crashmail).  I started off with copying the JAM files to the system and then
commenced forwarding messages to it, and then did a %rescan.  Of course, a lot
of dupes made it into the echo areas since the original messages' data had
never been entered into the dupe database.  A definite 'no no'.  I deserve a
smack! for that.  :)

Cheers,
Paul.
