I don't know what causes this error beyond the immediately obvious ValueError, but I have an idea about bouncing users not being disabled. Bounce processing was changed in 2.1.5. From the NEWS file - - The bounce processor has been redesigned so that now when an address's bounce score reaches the threshold, that address will be sent a probe message. Only if the probe bounces will the address be disabled. The score is reset to zero when the probe is sent. Also, bounce events are now kept in an event file instead of in memory. This should help contain the bloat of the BounceRunner. New supporting variables in Defaults.py: VERP_PROBE_FORMAT, VERP_PROBE_REGEXP Check the 'bounce' log. The sending of a probe is logged. The question is are probes being sent for all 20 or so addresses? If so, the underlying problem may be that the VERP like probe address is not being properly preserved and returned to the bounce processor when the probe bounces. If it turns out that this is the problem, I'm not sure what you can do in 2.1.5, but 2.1.6 (in late beta) makes bounce probes optional and off by default. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
