The methods by which list-owners handle bounces run the gamut: ignoring them (maybe not even receiving them), to the immediate deletion of that user from the distribution. In between, some list-owners actually pursue the reason for the bounce and then notify some sysadmin/hostmaster related to the bouncing site. How much time (and skill) do YOU have to pursue such things? (I just acquired the "bouncing rights" to a 3k+ susbscriber list ... I just ran out of time.) -- co-owner INFOSYS, TQM-L, CPARK-L, ERAPPA-L, JANITORS, LDBASE-L, et -L [log in to unmask] "Support Conservation of Cyberspace: Don't SPAM!" 31 Shields Bldg. -- Penn State Univ -- University Park, PA 16802-1202 USA
