Bon Matin, (And thanks to all of those that have already helped me on
other topics, you are *A GREAT BUNCH* of mail sleuths)
 
I am wondering if I hanfle those errort report correctly.
 
I change the default semi-auto-delete to Full-auto on Oct 15th so 48
hours ago... Now I am not clear if thos reports will be handle when the
4 days default are elapsed for the accounts that LISTSERV was
monitoring. Or if they are simply all the non-standard mailer errors
talked in the manual.
 
What boggles my mind is that even LISTSERV generate such errors, should
I understand that LISTSERV generates non-standard errors ? I know it
does not make sense so I am getting something wrong about that... But
what ?
 
And since I am bothering you with errors is it normal that
COMPUSERVE.COM users generates 2 message by problem or this is 'cuz they
have a weird mailer. The error notification generates and error itself

notice
for the following  reason: "Sender:", "From:" or "Reply-To:"  field
pointing to
the list has been found in mail body.

Another pain in the "glueteus maximus" from Inforamp.net
I am also having 100s of bounces from messages dating from Agust 96
I tried contacting inforamp.net whitout any success. Can it be that they
setup and auto-forward for an address that soes not exists anymore.
Obviously the crso.blues-l @ does not exist in BLUES-L (If Query crso*@*
and it came up empty).

And now a Turkish phantom. I contacted the postmaster at VM.EGE.EDU.TR
and he told me he add delete this user from all their list. But he is
*not* on mine. Again is that some obscure forwarding. How do I find out
? For the fun of it that one is 10 days... Does it means double the
precedent (Austro-Iranian) problem ?

And now a small comment. The quoting of all text is that because there
is no *sure* of identifying message body in non-standard mail ? The
traffic in my mail box went from 100-150K a day from BLUES-L to 3-5 MB a
day ! I use Netscape and used to compress once a week, now I *must*
compress (empty trash) twice a day ... You can imagine when a DIGEST
user bounces and is quoted for 10 days... And when 10 users bounce a
receive a 100 times the list "traffic". Same compounding for MAIL users:
Most posts are rather shoert (half a screen) so quoted with 2 screens of
headers it is 4 times the list traffic and for 10 bad addrees it is 40
times. Maths are a long way back in my memory, but isn't what they
called a Nth Complexity polynomial problem ?... So my Question is there
an option or a setup that lets a list-own trigger monitoring for a user
and only receive a short (line or Kb size limited) version of those
messages ? If Not, Is there plan to implement such scheme... I do
understand that this a shortfall from administering from a PC rather
than a "real computer" (IBM 4381,UNIX servers, oops DEC VMS systems too
;-).
 
If you read this far than a real profound and sincere thanks... I am
learning the ropes and swear to give back to the list what I recive from
it...
 
Thanks to you all (at least for the compassion you usually show even if
you cannot help)
