My earlier musing about turning off the Auto-Delete function was intended as a temporary solution while ListServ/PeachEase and the major e-mail providers work out a solution…. Auto-Delete is useful for disabling abandoned e-mail accounts and such. I’ve been thinking about another approach (I have 2 more days before Auto-Delete kicks in for the monitored accounts). I’m considering setting the affected subscribers to “NOMAIL” and notifying them (via a separate e-mail, since ListServ generated messages aren’t getting through to them….). They would still be able to post, but would have to read posts via the website. Or they could consider changing e-mail providers. This could be reversed if a better solution is worked out by the industry. Or do e-mail providers just not care that these decisions negatively affect ListServ users? Are we seeing the first indication that ListServ is an outdated technology, in this age of Facebook, Twitter, and other “social media” for staying connected?

If you set this to "No", you will begin receiving failure notifications singly, in real time as soon as the ListServ receives them, and they will be reproduced in their full length rather than the couple of lines that you see on your DEMR. If you have a lot of subscribers and if errors are occurring frequently, "No" can result in a deluge of lengthy notifications. The parameter you need to change is the "Full-Auto" - this should be changed to "Manual": Auto-Delete= Yes,Manual We have been using this for a couple of years now, and I find that I prefer to keep it this way, though I need to monitor the DEMR regularly to do manual deletions.
