Can someone explain how with this auto-delete setting: Auto-delete= Yes,Semi-Auto,Max(100),Delay(8),Probe(30) I can see this error report: Err First Last Address --- ----- ----- ------- 504 12/01 12/16 [log in to unmask] Last error: Unavailable; DSN status was 5.2.1 270 12/01 12/11 [log in to unmask] Last error: Unavailable; DSN status was 5.2.1 ..... 23 12/02 12/16 [log in to unmask] Last error: Unavailable; DSN status was 5.2.1 ..... The error counts on at least the first two of these folks go up every day, I've been watching them. I can delete them of course, but I was more curious to wait and see if ListServ would. Shouldn't it have done so long ago? Thanks, ----- Tom Rawson [log in to unmask]
