I assume you are using ezmlm. ezmlm does have the feature that it will remove bad email addresses automatically. It doesn't happen immediately since there is the possibility that someones mail would be down for a few days and they shouldn't be instantly removed from the mailing list. But in effect, he is correct. ezmlm will remove the bad email addresses and you can determine which ones were removed by comparing the two listings. Ken Jones
