Hi Julien

That was my error blaming cron for the mail. I did so because "Cron" appears 
in the Subject. Mail is actually from the user news, and is being handled 
properly.

I finished testing the changes this week, and all is working fine now.

I can report that simply renaming or moving ${OVERVIEWDIR} causes the server 
to throttle when the 10-minute sanity check is performed:


Jun 26 02:09:08 optima11 innd: ctlinnd command s
Jun 26 02:09:11 optima11 innd: ctlinnd command r:No space (overview) 
[innwatch:43] 0 lt 25000
Jun 26 02:09:11 optima11 innd: filter: Saved EMP database.
Jun 26 02:09:11 optima11 innd: CNFS: CNFSflushallheads: flushing 004
Jun 26 02:09:11 optima11 innd: SERVER throttled No space (overview) 
[innwatch:43] 0 lt 25000

...
43 !!! ${INNDF} ${OVERVIEWDIR} ! lt ! ${INNWATCHSPOOLSPACE} ! throttle ! No 
space (overview)


To fix it I created an empty overview directory instead of simply commenting 
out line 43.

You might want to include that warning in the updated docs.

Thanks for your assistance, and have a nice weekend.
