I have several lists which are low usage (1 message per week or so). The problem I'm having is setting an auto-delete option to actually delete the user eventually. I have included an example monitoring report and the header information for one of the lists below. Here's what happens: a message is sent to the list, I receive an error report, 5 days go by without a message being sent to the list, the error monitoring system resets itself, another message is sent to the list, I receive an error monitoring report, etc. In actuality, unless a message is posted at least once every 5 days, a user would never be deleted. It seems what I need to do is increase the number of days that go by before the monitoring ceases...maybe to 30 or something like that. Can anyone let me know if this will work or any better suggestions. I am very new to LSoft (less than 2 weeks) so I'm still figuring a lot of this out. ***********************example error monitoring report*************************** The following 1 subscriber is currently being monitored: Err First Last Address --- ----- ----- ------- 3 09/24 09/24 Louise Voress <[log in to unmask]> Last error: Host unknown (Name server: acs.rog: host not found) Err= Number of delivery errors received thus far First= Date first delivery error was received (mm/dd) Last= Date of most current delivery error (mm/dd) Subscribers will be automatically deleted from the list when delivery errors have been reported for a period of 4 days or more, or when 100 delivery errors have been received, whichever occurs first. Monitoring will cease after 5 days without any reported error. Note: manually deleted subscribers may remain on the monitoring report under an alias address. Such entries will expire eventually; you do not need to do anything about them. ***********************example error monitoring report*************************** ___________review of dchas-l showing header info.________ * Review= Public Subscription= Open Send= Public * Notify= Yes Reply-To= List,Respect Files= Yes * Validate= No Stats= Normal,Private Confidential=No * Notebook= Yes,/home/listserv/home,Monthly,Private * * Owner= [log in to unmask] (Erik Talley) * Owner= quiet: * Owner= [log in to unmask] * Owner= [log in to unmask] ___________review of dchas-l showing header info.________ Thanks for any help you can provide, Erik __________________________________ Erik A.
