If someone sends mail to the decommissioned list, it will bounce whether those aliases are there or not. The question is simply whether sendmail bounces it or LISTSERV bounces it. The LISTSERV bounce in this case might be more informative since it tells you the list you are writing to does not exist. The sendmail bounce will just say "no such user". Certainly you <can> remove them if you want but there is no operational reason to do so, short of just not bothering LISTSERV with the occasional message to a list that doesn't exist. Nathan
