I wonder if we could benefit from some hints/suggestions on how to make list management easier from the various experts out there? I too found getting hundreds of error messages a day frustrating (the worst was leaving town for a week and returning to find over 2000 messages in my box) until I developed a strategy that works for me. I suspect other listowners have developed other ways of dealing with them and I'd like to here them. I have separate accounts for my list. My owner's account (where the error messages go is NOT subscribed to the list). My regular email account is subscribed to the list so I get list messages there and all the error messages go to a separate account (on VM). I can log onto my VM account and block delete all of the messages. Then I page through the headers and read selectively to see if I need to drop a subscription and to find any messages from subscribers that were sent to that account. I can get rid of 200 messages in 5 minutes this way and I only need to look at one demon.co.uk message, not all 50+. With a single account, the same effect could probably be created by using filters to direct mail into different boxes (the commercial version of Eudora can do this, for instance). = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = David L.
