Bounce messages happen because of some hiccup with Maclaunch's servers. LowendMac has NO CONTROL OVER THEM. There is NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT IT. Every few weeks for the last 4 years that I have been a nanny people complain about them. Every few weeks the same recurring cycle happens. And guess what? Do you want to know what is funny about it? The bounce messages happen when our bandwidth gets high. What's funny you might ask?? Well, all the messages to the list about what to do about the bounce messages makes it worse! :-0 So, not to call you out individually Brian (this is meant for everybody), but all you can do is reply to the bounce messages or ignore them. I have ignored them and set up a filter (yes, I get them too) to send them directly to the trash. I have never responded to the bounce messages and I have not had the listserver kick me. Not once in 4+ years. So ignore them or reply... Whatever you choose. I will begin posting a message similar to this one every week on all the lists to try to put a stop to the Bounce message threads. Kyle H.
