I'm not aware of a report, unless you keep listserv's logs for
3 years.

For archived lists you can check when the last msg was sent as
well as the timestamp of the list header file. I only say to
check both because I recently removed a list that had not been
used in 3 years, only to find out that the list owner was only
using it as a current membership list by adding subscribers.

If you have a list owners list, you can send a note requesting
lists to be deleted - we do this.

We also have a service agreement that clearly states 3 years
of no e-mail msgs and the list is removed.

I hope this is helpful.
