Hi: I run a list that has about 500 subscribers and a fair bit of activity (maybe 10 things a day) and a fairly naive clientele. They find it hard to subscribe and signoff and other things that a more technically adept readership can do as a matter of course; but I love them. It seems to be raining Error messages on me, now in the third year of our existence. I spend lots of time just deleteing the darned things. Removing dead people from the list takes lots of my time. It's not uncommon that some instructor in Detroit or whereever will signon the entire class, and at the end of the semester they all disappear and I have to clean up after them. I'm tempted to change my keywords to divert all errors to some fake mail box and just let them sit there.Is that unconscionable? Or would it set up some bizarre resonance between that account when it is full and users' accounts when they are full that would bring BITNET down around our ears? In short, what do you people do? Do you religiously sit there and do everybody's UNSUBBing for them? And let me tell you about the concealed users. There are some errors messages that must be coming from old concealed users who I can't discover at all. So am I fated to spend eternity deleting error messages from these ghosts? I seem to recall that my support people said that finding these concealed people and deleting them was a little tough. Thanks for any help. -------**********======================================**********------- GENE V GLASS ATGVG at ASUACAD.BITNET College of Education ATGVG at ASUACVAX.BITNET Arizona State University Internet Address:[log in to unmask] Tempe, AZ 85287-2411 602-965-2692
