The machine had a single disk drive which failed, so when the new disk drive arrived, I restored everything from a two month old backup. It was a piece of cake and the system was back to normal. Or so I thought! ... After a couple of days I started receiving messages like Brad's asking whether I had gone senile and started emailing people about deadlines that had already past etc. What happened was that when the backup was made, there were a bunch of emails in the mail queue and they were backed up along with everything else. Two months later when the backup was restored, sendmail found them in the mail queue and sent them along (again). **vp
