Ok, gotcha, and what would be a suggestion?.

Oh, it's only for netmails?, I see. I did implement those semaphores but indeed they do what you say, they scan the whole messagebase and it's grown exponentially it's slow, so can you explain how to make it whole, how can I make it let the tosser in this case mystic to scan snly areas with messages to be sent out?.

I'll look into it, thanks tho
