What to do with subscribers who bounce is a matter of list-owner experience and patience. To find those subscribers who are currently not receiving email: Q listname WITH NOMAIL FOR *@* Of course some subscribers might be on vacation and/or read the postings through the WEB interface (if available) and not because you have suspended them. What *we* like to do (on a particular listname) when we do suspend them is SET listname NOMAIL NOPOST FOR bouncer@host This methodology assumes that we do NOT usually set a normal subscriber to MAIL NOPOST. Thus, this combination of NOMAIL NOPOST tells *me* that we have suspended the user. Thus a Q listname WITH NOMAIL NOPOST FOR *@* output IS indicative that one of the list-owners saw fit to suspend the subscriber who is NOT on vacation/WEB-only user. One of the pleasant side-effects is that the subscriber can not then send a nastygram to listname complaining about why they aren't receiving mail (or otherwise send a "test" message). YMMV. /Pete
