Hmmmm...with current load on this list, I figure 20 bounces is Ohhhhhh...,
'bout 4 hours. That makes 4 bounces to be about 48 minutes.

I think I know what it is...RedHat 4.0 upgrades are going so well for most
that their computers aren't down long enough!
Ok, the pressure's on -- which one of you guys can upgrade the fastest?
:):):)
FWIW: If SmartList isn't configurable, Donnie, you might think about fix'n it.
The only other alternative I see is to monitor the number of messages that
hit in 24 hours and set the bounce count accordingly. Just doesn't seem to
make good sense to me to gratutiously kick your customers off this list.
Don't mean to apply a backhanded, "cute" form of pressure, but I thought the
feedback would be appropriate. Keep up the good work.
