Here's my policy: If I get deferred mail from someone for more than a day or so, I set them to "indexed" mode. That way, I don't get huge bounce messages, and I get very few of them. Then, when they -do- get their mail, they can follow the instructions and retrieve the indicies on their own. --Julie [log in to unmask] http://drycas.club.cc.cmu.edu/~julie/ "After finding no qualified candidates for the position of principal, the school board is extremely pleased to announce the appointment of David Steele to the post." -- Philip Streifer, Superintendent of Schools, Barrington, Rhode Island.
