If an O-o-O makes it to the list, I delete the subscriber after I send a note describing the problem to both the subscriber and the postmaster. If It goes to a poster, I usually delete the subscriber (same note) - not always (I send a "test" post out from another id every so often just to check for bad addresses and autoresponders). If it comes to me as owner, I may send a message, but usually do nothing. hth --Joe On Fri, 17 Mar 2000, Stan Horwitz wrote: > I just took over management of a very busy unmoderated list running under > Listserv 1.8d.
