That will only work however if I wipe the bounce log every few days - and even then I won't get a very accurate count... Also - as far as stats go, in the smtp log, is that a fair count for how many messages really got sent?

Hmm. This (the bounce-counting) is one of the reasons I ended up ripping Mailman into many component pieces and then ended up custom-writing something completely different for the newsletters themselves. If you find a clean and accurate way to do that using Mailman, let me know. :-)
