Since many of the subscribers to my lists are AOL, I just grin and >bear it. This is the best approach, but I believe AOL holds messages for full mailboxes for a week and generates a new error message on each attempted delivery. The other services generate one error message only. AOL is trying not to loose mail, but its approach generates about 7 errors for each message posted to the list. I notified my list that whereas I formely ignored full mailboxes for about a week, I now delete subscribers whose mailboxes are full. It helps to keep the error message level down (now I only get 50-100 a day) and encourages subscribers to keep up with their messages a little better. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = David L.
