|It looks good to me. (?) He claims that the server is not auto-handling
|the bounce mail.

The "proof is in the pudding" -- auto-delete can only automatically delete
exact matches of subscribers (not forwarding addresses) when that bounce is
in RFC821/2 format, and not some funky Mail User Agent format.

Also, sometimes auto-delete has done its dirty work, but the MUA or MTA is
still returning queued bounces, remembering that the generation of list
postings, bounces, and auto-delete do not work in synchronous fashion.

NB, if a subscriber manually unsubscribes, the Daily Error Monitor Report
has no knowledge of this and will still show the userid@node of the
monitored "subscriber,"
