I'm also interested in statistics from the LISTSERV manager's point of
view.  We are pushing 400 lists on our server with no way to manage
them.  I would like to have daily, weekly, and monthly reports on each
list showing number of subscribers, number of posts, number of bounce
messages, and bounces per post.  I need to know if the list owners are
doing their job.  I'm also interested in reports on file usage and
automatic pruning of archives.
