I have several on my lists and it is actually hard to figure the pattern [since some of the blocked stuff appears unlikely to be intentional]. I wonder if they can do wildcard blocks and so do "*.yahoo.com" or some such... In any event: what do you all do with those bounces? I get them, too [in addition to the equally obnoxoius "No thanks" from world.std.com and similar from a few other sites]. Do you forward them back to the original poster or not? I just trashcan the thing. I realize that this means that person A doesn't know that person B never got their message, but, for me, life's too short and this feels like it should be someone else's problem. What I could do [since I have an appropriate mail client -- there are remarkably few that can!] I could 'resent-*' the bounce to the original author and it wouldn't even look [to the casual observer] that I had gotten in the middle of their dispute... but, alas, even that is more bother than I go to [but I'd be willing to modify my behavior here if y'all really thought it was better-practice to pass the bounce on]. /Bernie\ -- Bernie Cosell Fantasy Farm Fibers mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Pearisburg, VA --> Too many people, too few sheep <--
