When you get a bounce, you do get told why: unknown address, full inbox, or whatever. It's not always on the front page of the bounce message. If you click on the first of the two attachments, you get the reason. Some bounces are from members who've sent to the wrong address. Some are from spammers who don't realise it isn't a valid address per se. -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, Ashcott, Shapwick, Greinton and Clutton, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk

Thanks Charani. But perhaps I should have re-phrased my answer a bit. I know about the reasons for Bounces, but I was questioning as to why there seemed to have been so many all at once. The insight that Joan supplied pretty much answered that for me, with the list having been inactive for a while seems to have been the cause and effect, if you will, of the issue on at least one of the lists.
