Hi Bill and Frank,

Thank you for your quick response/confirmation Frank. Bill, your assessment
is correct. This "anomoly" appeared in the morning report several hours after
I rebooted the server. This reboot was affected after applying the
aforementioned fixes per Harry's book. This morning's report did NOT show a
second store process and was free of critical/system errors or performance
related issues. Also, there have been no reports of email issues by clients
thus far this morning. As far as testing is concerned, I will have to test
later this evening as I am currently behind a packet shaper and firewall
which prevent me from accessing the server. I will keep you posted! Thanks
again for everyones help!!
Mark
