:Thank you Sheila.

:I just downloaded and installed Mercury.   you weren't kidding -- this is
:NOT for the faint-of-heart!
:I do have twoscoops.com and youarethelight.com, but both domains are on a
:virtual host service elsewhere.  I would be using Mercury to send out my
:weekly messages

I believe this means you will want to install MercuryC module, rather
than MercuryE.

:  as well as intake all the bounces, subscribes/unsubscribes
:and handle them appropriately.... but I would want to use either my
:twoscoops.com or youarethelight.com  POP3/SMTP server at the virtual host
:machines...

To handle bounces, I am using Pegasus. It has a really nice feature:
"templates". I've set mine up so that I get my bounces sent to a
List-Owner address, and usually the undeliverable message is attached.
If it is a DNS error, rather than a full mailbox, I send the message
back out again using one of my templates.

:I opened the main configuration module and knew right away I was in over my
:head with this thing... I'm going to have to dig into this one step at a
:time (s-l-o-w-l-y), and I will probably have a gazillion questions.  Thanks
:for the offer of help.  If I don't find help at the Mercury newsgroups I
:just might tap into your expertise.

Expertise? Surely you jest. I'm a novice. I've only been at this for
about a month. I would definitely recommend trying the Mercury list and
newsgroups before trying me, although you are welcome to ask. Probably
remaining questions regarding configuration of Mercury should be taken
to private e-mail off of this list.
