No. I was thinking of build some rexx to do this, but never got around to
it.

>2. Find out why they bounced in the first place?

Look at the bottom of the bounce history page. The should list the bounce
reason.

FWIW, what I did wrong was subscribe to the mysql2 group which is no
longer moderated by the ownner who seems to be long gone. I didn't
realize this when I subscribed. The lack of moderation allowed viruses to
pass through the list and get bounced by Earthlink. Earthlink bounces
mail containing virsues with a 554, IIRC. This is a good thing, but
unfortunately Yahoo counts these as bounces. Anyway, I no longer
subscribe to the mysql2 group.

HTH,

Steven
