16 November 1995 Ottawa Canada Hi Roger: Here is how i handle list errors sent to me for manual processing: 1. See if i recognize the site. If i do and it is a chronic problem i judt delete the message and continue. if it continues too many days, I write to my subscriber there to ask what is wrong or delete them and try to advise them somehow why their subscription was killed. 2. If the from: is different then i read down the list to find who the error is in respect of and if it is not transient I issue a delete for the user and if I am not too harried, a letter explaining i killed their subscription because... 3. if the error is no such hote, i issue a delete listname *@home.domain Saves deleting them one at a time. There is a trick to reading error messages and you sometimes have one h of a time figureing out who the intended addressee is and other times if it is mime encoded, it is nicely formatted and explicit. I truly worship the sites that generate non-delivery notices that listserv can auto process. -- Brian Lingard [log in to unmask]
