Correct. The bounces are generally coming at the time MercuryE is talking to the receiving host but you should still get a bounce message . I run a number of lists using VERP and I always get a bounce message pretty much telling me why the connection failed. Are you not seeing any bounce messages at all?

Yes, I do get some bounce messages but I didn't think I got all of them. Perhaps I do - I will start paying more attention to them and, heaven forbid, perhaps even keep copies of them.

Thanks for the reply.

I'm running a mailing list that uses VERP to process errors. From time to time I'm asked why certain addresses have been disabled. Does VERP keep a log of errors it receives? Or is there some other way of finding this information? I have thought about using a global filter to copy mail addressed to VERP to me, but I suspect that won't catch mail that is rejected by the SMTP server (correct me if I'm wrong).

Cheers, Mike
