Why not let LISTSERV do that for you with renewals? Set it for six months,
a year, whatever works for you? I had some doubts before setting it up for
my lists, but after a year with it I can't imagine living without it. Also,
as the lists had been in existence for four to five years each they had over
a third deadwood, and the mainframe manager is thrilled that I reduced the
load on the machine by letting renew clean up my lists.
