ok, when you will have time, pls write it :) It will be useful for me,
and also for others - i guess!

thats no problem of course. Also - it is possible to rewrite your old
macro (adding mail failures to group and not whole to new adress
book?)

I think that will be not big problem :) for you...hehe

JA> One other thing to consider is that you may be removing addresses
JA> prematurely.  It's possible that a server crashed and that the bounces
yes, thats right. It could be at 2 times - first time it will only
import them (thru your old script) to blackbook, and after that, those
mails will be compared to blackbook - if they are listed they will be
deleted.

JA> are only temporary.  If you're running a big list, you might want to

I am running small list, thats ok :)

JA> started up a mailing list about managing lists using TB.  Perhaps that
JA> forum might provide you with better answers.  Check out his FAQ at:
JA> http://www.pcwize.com/tblh/faq.shtml
i check that, many things I already knew... but it is nice faq.
