The best way is to set your list to:

*  Auto-Delete= Yes,Full-Auto

Then you won't see the error messages, and you get a once a day summary of
the bounces. The default is something like 100 errors or 4-5 days of errors
before they are deleted. This is enough for most things to clear up, but
you can extend them if you wish. The only error messages I see are the ones
from Compuserve that are sent to the list, caught by Listserv, and then
sent to my owner mailbox. As far as I'm concerned Full-Auto is the only way
to run a list.
