Has anyone here successfully implemented a system of list
expiration/renewal at their site?  I don't mean *subscription*
renewal.... for example, if a user requests a list on my server, I want
to be able to track the age of the list and then know after, say, 6
months, get rid of it.  I find this desirable because professors often
request lists for their classes, which, of course, usually last only a
semester.

I have thought of using a database to track the lists I create, then
generate reports to know which lists I can erase.  However, perhaps
there an easier, "LISTSERV" way to do it.  If some such method is in the
docs, please point me there. :)
