Hi, Ok, now...
It appears there may be privacy issues if I use the HOLD action, and look at the email... I'd like touse DELETE but realize there is a possibility to delete legitimate email. Then there is bounce, which appears to have its own pros and cons. There certainly is an awful lot of info to assimilate. Nothing may be perfect. What is the deal with the *weighting* ? Comments please. Thanks, Andy Baldwin [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.thumpernet.com 315-282-0020 Thursday, December 27, 2001, 11:13:41 AM, you wrote: >>There is no test that meets my initial criteria?
