Please re-read thread before posting. Its usually considered a good idea 
if what you haveto say has not already been discussed to death before.

his spam markup / handing / processing is on a different box, as was 
already mentioned.

also, he has decided to use Cyrus, which does not ( as has already been 
pointed out in this thread ) use anything in /home - please read up on 
the software before posting.

Also, has been repeatedly pointed out that he does not have and will not 
use another drive at this time.

Thank you for your attention. Now we return you to the regular programming.
