"a ton of bonces" is relative. For a list with 100 subs, 500 errors per day is "a ton" (though most will probably have been generated by the same site). For a list with multiple thousands of subscribers 500 per 24 hours is just business as usual. One starts getting a little frayed around the edges when it jumps to 1000 - 1500 per day. Just one of the joys of trying to run a list. It's work. Douglas
