As promised, my simple script to find users who have been moved to "no_mail" status due to bounces. (see end of email)
You could easily modify it to send out a notification to the list admins *and* auto-remove these addresses from all lists. I have no problems with auto-removing an address that is bouncing - and since the address *is* bouncing, you have no way of alerting the user and telling them that they have been removed from the list... I get too much mail any way! Jon On Fri, 2003-02-07 at 03:10, Jon Carnes wrote: > Dang it! I've got another script that does exactly that... I should have > included it.
