filter_innd.pl question

[Chris Masters]

Thanks Russ.

It looked as though it was single threaded - Why??
nnrpd doesn't handle all traffic does it?

My original thought was to dump it directly into the
spool but I guess that may cause unseen issues. I'll
create a separate spool (as you suggest) and use a
reader to post.

Thanks again.
