Sherry, Why would you want to delete someone after only one bounce? It often happens that IP are down for a few hours or even a day on the weekend so you will be deleting good subscribers. I use autodelete also but I have it set to 4 days in order to give the IP's time to repair themselves or for the subscribers mailboxes not to be full. I loose allot less subscribers that way.
