This COM Check is very welcomed, however there a few issues: I've installed it created a new check that use the "should be less than" function and applied the options and closed the check. If I open the check again to edit it, the function has changed to "should be greater than".
Also, on occasion, when I open the check and click the "configure" button, nothing happens. I have to delete the check, and recreate it to get it to work. Running SA as a service on XP. Restarting the service doesn't seem to help.

Doing this will get you removed from the list. To unsubscribe send a message with UNSUBSCRIBE as subject to [email protected] If you use auto-responders (like out-of-the-office messages), then make sure that they are not send to the list nor to the individual members of the list that send a message.
