Yes, they are supposed to, and they will. That is the most important ones to hit, actually. Before I set up renewal on my dozen lists I had LOTS of folks with nomail, some of which had been set that way for years, I'm sure. You'll get a bunch of bounces the first time thru, as they set nomail, forgot about it, left for another job, etc. But if you take the time to delete them you'll save a lot of headaches in the future. You'll also see that some who get the msgs don't renew, which is fine.....and you'll see unsubs from some who do get the renewals as they'd forgotten they were even subbed. My lists had been running about four years each when I started renewals and the number of subs dropped between 20 and 35% on my lists after the first round of renewals. The manager of the mainframe was quite happy about that. o-) dan Dan Lester [log in to unmask] In the kingdom of the blind, the one eyed man is king.
