> I have been watching and reading all of this and I don't know what to say
other than to say "Thanks for the overwhelming show of support".   To the
few detractors, all I can say I have offered to run full timing tests for
anyone that wants.   So far only two complaints of longer service have come
across my email and both are from AOL users.   I also don't see anything out
of the ordinary in the system logs.   Not to say that some folks may not see
a delay from time to time but there there is no big huge glaring problem.

The larger the ISP. the more likely you are do see differences in delivery
based on "Precedence" header.  The technical information is after my
signature.

stay consistent with the old list.

If the message can't be delivered, the message body is discarded from the
bounced mail.

fall into this category. Like bulk, the message body is discarded from the
bounced mail.
