<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>You could certainly automate much of this. I
wrote a vacation app that does basically what you are asking. It lets you
input a starting date and an ending date and the users email address. From
there the app turns off all their mailing list mail on the starting date,
and then back on at the ending date. It would be a POC to reverse
that (turn on... then off), and to integrate it with a database that has
financial info indicating length of service (termination date), based on the
amount they have paid.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>You could also automate alerts for near end of
term, to warn folks that they only have one more month, one more week till they
lose the service.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The key here is that Mailman is Open Source.
The code is yours to do with as you will.</FONT></DIV>
