We've recently implemented Auto-Delete on our broadcast-only lists, with settings of * Auto-Delete= Yes,Full-Auto,Delay(1),Max(1) Previously I had it set to Delay(0), but changed it in order to be able to get monitoring reports. I'm now trying to understand just how this all works. Say on Monday I receive a Monitoring Report which states that 14 subscribers are being monitored. Then on Tuesday I receive a Monitoring Report which states that 5 subscribers were deleted (out of the group that was being monitored the day before), and another 27 are being monitored (which list does not include the ones being monitored the day before). My questions are: Why hasn't the entire group being monitored on Monday been deleted on Tuesday? Each bounced 1 time in a 24-hour period. Was a second bounce required to trigger the deletion of the 5 subscribers on Tuesday? For those of you more knowledgeable than I about this particular aspect of Listserv, what settings would you suggest I implement? Our lists are broadcast-only, with numerous topics set. Many subscribers are set to only one topic, and many topics post as infrequently as once every two weeks. Would * Auto-Delete= Yes,Full-Auto,Delay(14),Max(1) make more sense in this instance? Thanks for your help.
