Yes -- unfortunate, isn't it?

The way I scripted it, if that condition occurs, a hard error giving  
permamnent failure is returned. This should at least avoid a  
situation where the message is continually retried, with the first  
portion of the subscriber list receiving copy after copy.

It's not a "perfect" marriage -- perhaps others will be able to see  
how to overcome this flaw -- but for those of us who are for whatever  
reasons using courier-MTA, it seems like a very good way to manage to  
put ezmlm-idx on top of Courier.

Thanks again for your help and pointers!

best,
Jeff
