As Pete indicated, this is a matter of listowner "style." But you do
need to be a bit careful, in that some errors are extremely transient
(i.e. one message out of 30 for that day bounces for the address in
question). But it is still a matter of judgement (that's why we're
listowners, to take care of the things the program can't). Get used to
seeing 100 - 300+ error messages per day and you'll acquire a "feel"
for which to do something about and which to ignore, except for making
a mental note and watching for further problems.
