I find that it's much more reliable to use the address as it appears in the list of subscribers. I keep a relatively current list online and 'grep' it (Unix's search command) for a likely part of the address. That pops up the address as given on the list of subscribers.

I hate these "trying for 3 days" (or even worse 6 days) bounces. That means that the Friday-night problems come piling in on Monday, the day I have least time for e-mail. Or I assume that's what you're talking about. Surely you don't stay away from your computer all weekend. If I did that, I would find several thousand pieces of mail waiting for me on my busiest day of the week. --Natalie ([log in to unmask])
