Well, I'm having no problems receiving mail from anyone, so I don't know why a mail to me would have bounced. Yet, I got kicked from the list. Does Sympa distinguish between temporary and "permanent" problems? On occasion I've received warning messages from other mail servers that "mail could not be delivered within 4 hours; no action is necessary, I'll keep trying". I suspect people are being kicked off because of these temporary problems. -- Ron ronhd at users dot sourceforge dot net Opinions expressed here are all mine. ____________________________________________________ Want to buy your Pack or Services from Mandriva?
