Here you will get a difference of opinion from me.

My esteemed colleague Francoise suggests

 Auto-Delete= Yes,Full-Auto,Delay(45),Max(2)

I suggest this:

 Auto-Delete= Yes,Full-Auto,Delay(0),Max(1)
 Change-Log= Yes

I would also set  ,probe(10) and leave it on all the time.

The difference is my suggestion will delete on the first error.  It boils down
to whether or not you want to get a DMR (Daily Monitoring Report) every day for
a month until the next posting.  I prefer to delete first and fix it later if
the person asks "what happened", if necessary.  With a posting time of approx
monthly, something between 5%-10% of your addresses will have become bad every
month as people move around, are reassigned, etc.  You can spend a lot of time
chasing this or you can just let the 'chips' fall where they may.

Neither answer is 'better' nor is there a 'right' answer.  It's a metter of
preference.
