I put up with it for awhile. Monitor it for awhile. If it is one
person at a site (NOSUCHUSER), I waste them. If it is several people
at a site (NOSUCHUSER), I try to contact someone at the site (by
looking in BITEARN with ldbase, or whois at nic.ddn.mil. If that
fails I waste them. If it is No such node, I try harder to contact
someone at the site. If that fails I waste them. I don't do a quiet
delete, but it doesn't matter, the mail generated by delete gets
bounced anyway. In general, I put up with it as long as it doesn't
bother me, doesn't last too long. Lots of times it "self-corrects."
I am quicker to get rid of users from a list at the end of the fall,
spring and summer.
