SmartList and qmail (I'm new to the list)
Greetings,

I have been experimenting with using qmail to deliver my SmartList
mailings. I have a couple questions already (of coarse), sorry if they
may have already been addressed.

1. I did a distribution only mailing of about 12,689 recipients on
2/21/97 and the queue is still full of 'done remote''s with about 23 or
so 'remote's. When will qmail finish with these 'remote's and will qmail
bounce them properly?

2. The mailing of 12,689 seened to only show about 11,449 'remote''s
in the queue. Maybe some where delivered quickly?

Any comments appreciated!

--Paul T.
