I think the easiest way to do this is by analysis and summarization of Mailman's 'post' log. If you rotate logs, you may need to alter the rotation to be sure you have the whole month, but you could have a cron script that would run on the first of the month and produce to report for the previous month and mail it to a few people or even to the list. You could also do this using a list's archives/private/listname/yyyy-Month.txt(.gz) as the data source. One caveat if you use the post log. In Mailman prior to 2.1.7, for certain list settings, the log entries show the sender as [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of the real sender. This is fixed in 2.1.7. See Brad Knowles Mailman Daily Status Report (mmdsr) script in the Mailman contrib/ directory (for 2.1.7 and up) or at <http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1123383&group_id=103&atid=300103> for an example of a script that does log analysis and mails results. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
