Tony, does your list account allow the use of 'procmail

a script that filters the bounces and does something practical
with them - (dump em, put them in a file, put them in
another mailbox, parse them for a return path ... etc)

LEDs are monochromatic light sources and can't be filtered to another
colour.
Seems to me I've seen LEDs in at least 6 different original colors, and I
wasn't paying that close attention. Red, blue, amber and green are the most
common. FTM, any white light source can be filtered.
