I and a couple of systems staff share responsibility for four large pop
servers that have over 17,000 usernames on them.  We do this in our spare time
and don't have time to scrutinize all 17,000 po boxes.
 
With that many usernames, we are bound to have many that are inactive.  And
even worse, we have a number of inactive users who have subscribed to lists on
those *darned* (used to be beloved) listserv's.
 
We run ultrix 4.3a and ida sendmail.  Our POP environment is mh.  No, we
aren't running pmdf or mx.
 
To save our spool space, we are about to begin expiring mail in PO boxes that
are over 6 months old.  However, some po boxes are sure to be receiving
heavy list traffic; they'll need more attention that just mail expiration.
 
>>-> So, how do I signoff users who have inactive accounts?
 
We also have begun suspending accounts.
 
>>-> Mail will start bouncing.  Is there something that we can put the headers
     of the bounced mail to assure signoff from lists?
 
I've browsed the logs of this discussion.  I still don't the answer to these
questions.
 
Can someone describe how to signoff users from our environment?  I'm looking
for signoff made simple...
