Yea, I added in a event to kill poll.bsy every hour just before it does it's forced poll.. The other busy's were strange, everything was running fine all night long, checked at 7am this morning and at 9am I had about 8 pkt's waiting to be tossed, I shut down the system and ran the killbusy command and it killed like 4 different bsy files in my outbound directories. Since then it has been fine.. I will see what I find tomorrow morning.. Thanks though for the info.. This changeover from Windows to Linux has been eyeopening for me, I have a greater understanding now of the ins and outs of this software..
