The >manual says that for lists coded with Validate=All then the default for >auto-delete = No. Does this mean it won't work on Semi-Auto with >Validate=All? No, it just means that the <default> for Auto-Delete is "No" when Validate=All. It doesn't mean you can't set Auto-Delete to whatever valid setting you want. I believe the design philosophy here is that since all commands that cause a change of state (including SUBSCRIBE) would require validation with "Validate= All", it's sort of gilding the lily to assume that you also want Auto-Delete enabled (since it's unlikely, or at least less likely, that anyone would be able to subscribe from an address that would generate bounces--otherwise the command confirmation request wouldn't be able to get to them and they wouldn't be able to OK the command).
