I'm guessing that listserv creates a .autodel file for every address for which it receives a bounce, whether or not it's a list address. Fwiw, I've got a couple of dozen with common first names (linda, john, etc) and one called "istserv.autodel" ... and I seem to remember recent bounces concerning that address. Many of the zero-length .autodel files have old dates. Maybe a careful deleting of non-current files would be useful in your case? ... but maybe that's a question for lsoft. ;-) cheers, wayne
