Dear fellow listowners, My list has over 1200 registered subscribers, but a recent query showed that there are over 600 addresses set to nomail. While a fair proportion of those are "legitimately" absent on jobs, congresses or a well-deserved holiday, I have a feeling many are not active anymore. I have studied the Listowners' Manual and found two or three possibilities to get rid of the surplus: renew 'confirm', renew 'probe' or a combination. Questions: What is the difference, as regards cleaning up the list, between confirm and probe--other that that the latter is automatic? Are there any practical considerations to make before implementing Renewal? Helge Niska Lantra-l
