It is with great trepidation that I send this message to the list again. Does no one use SmartList in the way that I want to?
I'd seriously doubt it, since you say you are not _using_ SmartList to manage your dist file, and yet you seem to want SmartList to handle your bounces. Doesn't make a lick of sense to me at all, which is why I think you're unlikely to get much help - kinda oxymoronic, eh?
I'm trying to do something unorthodox with SmartList. My distribution list is kept in a flat file by another program that I have to continue to use.
Then I'd suggest you redirect any bounce messages off to the program that is managing the "flat file" and write your own routines in the "flat file" manager (I am assuming you're refering to a flat-file database manager, but I could be wrong, and frankly it doesn't much matter) to handle the bounces. Either SmartList manages the distribution list, or your "flat file" program does. Seems to me that having both thumbs in the pie is a recipe for disaster...and trying to get SmartList to handle bounces when you admit it _doesn't_ manage the dist file is just silly. Charlie
