Thanx for the input, my problem though is that my list is very active and since people might leave their accounts unchecked for some time, this creates things like (unable to deliver mail to [log in to unmask] for 9 days...reason mailbox is full). What I feel is that the sooner you delete this person the better. Further more if that person decides to come back he can always singup again on the list. I was thinking about a program that can run on Disonect mode and check the mail for error returns, establish the deletion and then automaticly discard any new error returns for the same user. Thankx again for your help and Harry Williams for his LISTDEL XEDIT program that just sended me. -alex.
