I am not an aol user but I suffered the same experience several months ago and over a long period of time. I wrote to this list and Chris gave me the solution - it worked like a charm. Here is Chris' original response: Mary Lou >Subject: Not getting bounces >Date: 7/29/05 10:24 AM >Received: 7/29/05 10:27 AM >From: chris, [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: Emailer Talk, [email protected] > >I should point out here, because the topic was being discussed and I >don't think I mentioned it... > >If you do not currently have the Emailer Custom Settings patch installed, >and you do not get bounce messages like you should... install the patch. > >I really can't stress enough, everyone that uses Emailer should really >install the Emailer Custom Settings patch.
