Q: How can I best configure LISTSERV's Auto-Delete mechanism?
Answer by Liam Kelly
Senior Consulting Analyst, L-Soft
Properly configuring and tuning LISTSERV's auto-delete mechanism has multiple benefits for list owners and site administrators alike. It reduces the amount of time the list owner needs to spend handling bounces manually; it reduces the resources wasted by the SMTP server attempting delivery to invalid addresses; and it helps to prevent list mailings from being misidentified as spam due to high bounce rates.

Q: Sending a mailing to all of our recipients at once causes large spikes in web site access since most of them tend to respond at the same time. How can we spread the mailing out to ease the load on our web site?
Answer by Françoise Becker
VP Software Engineering, L-Soft
By combining auto-repeat jobs and target groups with formulas, LISTSERV Maestro makes it quite simple to ease the load on your web site when sending a mailing to a large number of recipients in a Hosted Recipient List (HRL). This example illustrates one way to spread a mailing out over a specific period of time, sending to one-fourth of the recipient list every hour over 4 hours.
