Peter, I've already set them to nomail. However, normally I prefer digest because it reduces my load to one error per day per list (I realize some lists produce more than one digest, but mine don't) and subscribers start receiving their mail as soon as their boxes are emptied or their system starts functioning. It seems like a good compromise. I've informed subscribers what sudden digests mean and suggest that they set themselves back to ordinary mail as soon as they receive an unexpected and unwelcome digest. If digests bounce for a week I delete the subscriber. Ingrid [log in to unmask] & ihs&ionet.net P.S. The Erols.com mess seems to involve yesterday's messages that are finally being processed and rejected! Weird . . .
