MM 3 will have a true user database which can probably be updated outside of Mailman. There are third party MySQL member adaptors for MM 2.1. For 'standard' MM 2.1, there are web admin interfaces for deleting individual members and for adding or deleting lists of members. There are also command line tools for adding or removing members and for syncing the list membership with a flat file.There are other command line tools. See the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/z4A9> and the documentation at <http://www.list.org/docs.html>. >Aslo, how can we query reports? There is a daily status report script (mmdsr) distributed with Mailman that summarizes log files and includes such things as number of posts by list, hour and sender. There are command line tools for reporting some info (see the FAQ entry above). Beyond that, we'd need to know more specifically what you'd want reported. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
