After a while I'll take them off. Which you should discuss in the docs.... Somewhere like 2 weeks to a month on the bounces list is probably plenty. Here's the cron entry.... cat would probably work just as well :-) 10 5 * * 0 echo "who bounces\nend" | Mail -s "bounce list members" majordomo -- Paul Close pdc@sgi.com ...!{ames, decwrl, uunet}!sgi!pdc No fate but what we make
