That's correct. What you might want to do is something like Auto-Delete= Yes,Full-Auto,Delay(25),Max(3) That way any address that generates three bounces over 25 days (a bit more than three weeks) will be deleted. Does that make sense? Thanks, -- Jacob Haller, Technical Support L-Soft international, Inc http://www.lsoft.com/
