Not really lied on purpose, base on the bounce message I got the message route/forward to other server (maybe his backup server), and forgot to recreate the same account (or late to create, while new messages already coming in). > Gary Lucas' suggestion: > "It seems like it would be better to use a criteria like "bounces > on three separate days" without a reset, rather than on a strict > 15 bounce count." > seems good to me. > > A "20 bounce limit, and 3-days reset" would not have lasted the > weekend, except for those subscribing to the TBUDL-Digest (if there > is one).

Seems you have answer your questions : you already know that myrealbox.com will go to maintenance mode for 2-days or more, why not change your subcription to digest or set on vacation (the procedure to do that already mention on Welcome text) ? > I've got 50mb of space on two prodigy.net.mx accounts that no longer > work w/ dutaint.

I just got the "Sorry, your e-mail address > [EMAIL PROTECTED] is not listed as a Member or Moderator of this > List" reply, so it looks like that is another option. There is a lot of bounce for prodigy.net.mx in the past, so list server bounce watcher has unsubscribe it automatically. Why we must force membership to stay, while we can not distribute any single message to them, it is a waste of resources. > In any case, let us know what you decide. I will not change anything for now, the bounce watcher already in place since beginning we use Listar (even while we still using MDaemon long time ago), last week we just make it more accurate while detect the bouncing, that's all. -- syafril ------- Syafril Hermansyah<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ______________________________________________________ Archives : http://tbtech.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
