With Version 1.8d LISTSERV introduced CHANGELOG files. This file is activated by adding this line to the List Header of a LISTSERV list (DBMS or regular) Change-Log= Yes This parameter causes LISTSERV to write a plain text file named listname.CHANGELOG in LISTSERV's "main" operating directory (x:\LISTSERV\MAIN in Windows, ~/listserv/home in unix) which records all essential actions with that list. Here is a sample: 19980324100330 ADD [log in to unmask] Lxxxx Pxxxxxxxx 19980329120049 AUTODEL [log in to unmask] 19980331214433 CHANGE [log in to unmask] [log in to unmask] 19980331214434 DELETE [log in to unmask] 19980331232441 POST [log in to unmask] Printer Drivers 19980401000400 RESUBSCRIBE [log in to unmask] Mxxxxx Zxxxxx 19980426113947 SET [log in to unmask] REPRO 19980511082712 SIGNOFF [log in to unmask] 19980511085642 SUBSCRIBE [log in to unmask] Kxx Wxxxxxx YYYYMMDDHHMMSS is the date/time format As you see, the SET entry tells you what options were set, and the POST entry tells you what the subject of the posting was. RESUBSCRIBE is a SUBSCRIBE operation that takes place when the user is already subscribed to the list, e.g., to change the real name field in the user's subscription. READD is where the Owner ADDs an address which is already there, e.g. to change the name. 19980329131221 BOUNCE [log in to unmask] BOUNCE is a special operation that takes place only when using the new "no-list" bounce-processing mechanism with DISTRIBUTE jobs. Otherwise these entries are fairly self-explanatory.
