Bob, did you get any response? It appears to me that your Max(100) may be too high. As I understand key word Auto-Delete, for your setting: Auto-Delete= Yes,Semi-Auto,Delay(4),Max(100) a subscriber would need to bounce 100 messages in 4 days or bounce consecutively for 4 days to be deleted. You may also want to look into the passive probing feature if you have 1.8d. It works with the Auto-Delete key word. It looks like a good complement to the other auto-delete features. FRANK
