I have seen mails on LSTOWN-L that say: "Can you believe the insensitivity of mailers that don't notify you for 8 days that mail isn't going through? I get an extra 8 days of bounces as a result, even after I delete the person!" And now one that says: "Don't notify me after 5 days that there is a problem. That's too early." So, should I set the warning notification time to 6 or 7 days? Clearly, that's not what anyone wants. So, what should I do? Just turning off the warnings would mean the listowner wouldn't get notified for 10 days. That's even worse for the people in the first group. I don't see how to please everyone in this situation. -Eric
