- Daily, weekly, and/or monthly subscription reports to list managers with numbers of new subscriptions, unsubscribe, bounces, etc. This would be extremely useful.

RE: [Mailman-Users] So far, I'm very disappointed with Mailman
:S Anyone have a better mailing list tool than Mailman that you can :S recommend? I'd like to have something that I don't have to babysit so :S much. As much as I hate to do it, I might just have to go back to :S Majordomo (it has much better documentation, too). Sigh. Is it possible your needs might be better met with an outsourced mailing list solution? While we have the in-house expertise to manage Mailman, my cost analyses have demonstrated this is not a good use of our limited programming time. Perhaps you can find a provider who offers Mailman at a reasonable rate. I tested Lyris for a year (outsourced solution, from Sparklist) and I was unimpressed. Karen G.

RE: [Mailman-Users] Export Memberlist
Observation... This (output of subscriber lists) is requested so frequently I wonder if in a future version the Mailman interface could be set up to generate this list for list administrators; I know the Mailman paradigm is concentrated on Web access, but most of us working with other lists really, really miss that review feature. It's a) Armageddon backup (something terrible happens to the host, but you still have your most valuable information--the list of subscribers), and b) a fairly efficient workaround for a feature not implemented in 2.0 (searchable member archives). The only catch is that it is predicated on access to mailmaninstalldir. (I put in a separate request to the host of our lists asking if they would create a script we could run from our own Web interface.) -- Karen G.

[Mailman-Users] Commercial provider for Mailman 2.1?
Searched the archive and couldn't find an answer... I currently maintain a few small Mailman lists on Dreamhost. It's very reasonably priced and the service has been stable for the six months I've been using it, with only a few tiny gremlins I can ignore (not related to Mailman--more to do with hosting a subdomain). However, at present Dreamhost is using Mailman 2.0.13, and there are several must-have features I need for two large lists I manage (5,000 and 16,000 subscribers). The last time I checked, they were testing 2.1 but hadn't migrated to it yet. Can anyone recommend a commercial provider offering Mailman 2.1? (Dreamhost, feel free to step in and be my knight in shining e-mail...) -- Karen G.
