Not out of the box, but you could add a cron job to run bin/list_members and mail the result to the list owner. You could use bin/list_lists to get the list names. something like #!/bin/bash prefix=/path/to/mailman for list in `$prefix/bin/list_lists --bare` do $prefix/bin/list_members -f -p $list \ | mail -s "Members of the $list list" [EMAIL PROTECTED] done You could also add something to that script to rotate a few generations of $prefix/lists/$list/config.pck cp $prefix/lists/$list/config.pck.2 $prefix/lists/$list/config.pck.3 cp $prefix/lists/$list/config.pck.1 $prefix/lists/$list/config.pck.2 cp $prefix/lists/$list/config.pck $prefix/lists/$list/config.pck.1 The config.pck file contains all the member data and the list configuration basically everything about the list except archives, held messages and pending requests. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
