That's what I did, I tried to tech them how to manage the mailing list and some of the result I am declaring here since I also lack of knowledge of Mailman and Postfix (I was running Listar aka ecartis with Exim since 2001, they said MailMan less techiest than Listar but too many hidden menu). > > The need of notification for me it just make sure the real list-owner > > already did the job after enough learning curve so I can leave it them > > alone someday. > > That's a different matter.

Indeed, actually listar/ecartis give me this kind of notice by adding me as (hidden) super-admin at any list and enable "daily/weekly report" (also "diagnostic report"), but I think no need for Mailman do by far, notices of someone did changes of membership/password is suffice for me, at least for now. > I don't think it's possible with the current version of > bin/show_qfiles, but it shouldn't be too hard to improve that script > to gather information from lists/*/pending.pck and sort them by time, > oldest first.

I don't have programming knowledge, so I can not do that myself :-( Anyhow, thanks for your attention -- syafril ------- Syafril Hermansyah ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
