My 550 has everything as standard apart from MailScanner. Luckily I
mainly use this RaQ for backups although I do have a couple of virtuals
on there. It is still synchronising the RAID and when it gets to 100%,
it just starts again. I also got the IP tables error as stated in the
post I got flamed for (but no replies). I have never used IP tables so I
have no idea where this came from. If anyone is able to help without
flaming me, I will appreciate it.
