I have my .forward aimed to a script that sorts the incoming to appropriate mailing lists. Unfortunately, when a large block of mail gets freed up from someplace downstream and a dozen or so come in, each piece of mail fires up the mail filter process, and the whole machine gets bogged down. Since mail isn't real high on my priority list, is there a way to set this up such that the script gets its priority knocked down such that the ttys can keep going?

The facts, however, simply are and do not "belong" to anyone. jwm@sun4.jhuapl.edu or jwm@aplcen.apl.jhu.edu or meritt%aplvm.BITNET
