My rule-of-thumb for one-way lists is
Auto-Delete= Yes,Full-Auto,Delay(8),Max(3)
Delay(n)= #days in mailing period + 1 (weekly => 7+1 = 8)
Max(n)= max number of bounces before auto-deletion
for weekly mailing, a bouncing address will be deleted in 3 weeks
Rule: The longer Delay(n), the smaller Max(n)
Probe I usually leave at Probe(10) and don't change it unless the list is over
25,000 subscribers.
