There's a description of the LISTSERV log messages in the Site
Manager's Operations Manual (Chapter 9).  We wrote a program to produce
daily statistics from the log.  It also checks for LISTSERV command
processor mail loops.

The program is available via anonymous FTP from ftp.cu.nih.gov,
directory raf, file name lsvstats.zip (binary) or lsvstats.uue
(uuencoded text).  Do not use a web browser to do the FTP, as this host
does not support passive mode FTP (which web browsers use).  Do use
binary mode for the ZIP file or text mode for the UUE file.  The
program is written in Perl.  We'd appreciate your giving us back any
changed versions you develop.

As far as lists being held for exceeding the Daily Threshold, LISTSERV
already sends an email notice about that to the list owner.
