The problem seems to be that they hold up email for 4 or 5 hours a day for several days in a row. Hundreds of messages a day get through correctly, but if one of them is held up for four hours each day for the designated number of days, she gets bounced off. Yeah, it's a problem with her ISP. That's not my problem. My problem is that Mailman has dozens if not hundreds of individual specialized bounce handlers, I asked for help with modifying one of them, and everybody treats me like I'm asking for how to draw a moustache on the Mona Lisa. The code is already a nest of special cases. It won't hurt the pristine nature of the perfect code to add a small check and NOT mishandle one thing that is erroneously treated as a bounce. Especially since it appears that somebody already added something to the API to allow warnings to be silently ignored. I figured somebody who knew the code could tell me what and where to change it in less time than it would take to argue about it, but I guess I was wrong. Sorry I pissed on your wheaties, guys. I guess I'll buy a Python book and do it myself. -- Paul Tomblin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://xcski.com/blogs/pt/ SCSI is *NOT* magic.
