thanks again Wayne
your auto-delete= settings may be the best thing going, because it reads
exactly the same as what the L-soft technician suggested
my only concern:
does full-auto passive probing just delete bounce addresses
immediately?
what about "temporary" type errors where the subscriber account
is over-quota or the subscriber's email system is offline for some reason
or produces some transient error?
OR does Full-Auto only delete subscribers when the host doesn't resolve
or the username is unknown ?
(more "permanent" errors but could still be
transient i.e. - name service for the host could be
interrupted temporarily)
do you modify the LSMTP delivery retry attempts and interval, to lessen
unwarranted auto-deletion?

If you don't need periodic renewal for some other reason, I think the
passive probes lead to a more professional result (subscribers aren't
bugged by useless (to them) messages.
Almost all of my lists are defined with something looking like:
Auto-Delete= Yes,Full-auto,Probe(30)
