Could somebody explain to me what it means when the connection is "deferred" and therefore a site does not accept incoming list mail? Or is there an FAQ somewhere that I could read about it? It seems that some sites "defer" mail almost forever. Does that mean the site is up & running but misconfigured? Malfunctioning? Overbusy? Is this a parameter that the postmaster selects as a policy decision? Or what? Just trying to learn; TIA. -rg ---------- Ruth Ginzberg ([log in to unmask]) ----------- : If no response, or if mail bounces from this address, then try : : Business: [log in to unmask] Dog-Stuff: [log in to unmask] : ------------------------------------------------------------------
