Is there a way to scan my 440 lists and look for lists with
no subscribers? it seems my localhost ipv6 problem has caused at least one list to be emptied of all subscribers by the bounce processing.....so I have had to re-populate it.
In the great spirit of "Me too!"-ism, here's my offering of a little script I use with my local mailman setup:
===== #!/usr/bin/perl $MAILMAN_BASEDIR='/usr/local/mailman'; open(FOO,"$MAILMAN_BASEDIR/bin/list_lists -b |"); while ($line=<FOO>) { chomp($line); print("==> $line: "); chomp($line); open(FO1,"$MAILMAN_BASEDIR/bin/list_members $line|"); @Members=<FO1>; close(FO1); $Count=$#Members+1; print("$Count\n"); } close(FOO);
Save it as a text file, chmod it +x, check that the perl call points to the right place and $MAILMAN_BASEDIR likewise.
Pretty pedestrian, not very pretty output but it works.
