It's a semi manual process, if mails start bouncing, then they will get unsub'ed after a while. Unfortunately it's not easy to tell always whether it's a transitory failure, or something more permanent. The biggest pain is Hotmail, which on occassion will start dropping lots of email, then go back to "normal" service. Other pains are when people misconfigure procmail recipes and then their mail starts bouncing too. Unfortunately when list traffic is high, this causes a hugh burden on the list-admin(s) who has a real job not just looking after the list ;) Steve -- NetTek Ltd tel +44-(0)20 7483 1169 fax +44-(0)20 7483 2455 Flat 2, 43 Howitt Road, Belsize Park, London NW3 4LU mobile 07775 755503 Epage [EMAIL PROTECTED] [body only]
