You could look at the filesystem timestamp of the .LIST file - that will only get you "close" though, in some situations, because subscription changes also update the file, so you can't be sure that timestamp means "last message distributed at x on y" every time. But this is one quick and simple way to find "stale" lists. >>> [log in to unmask] 10/23/03 10:57AM >>> Is there an easy way to check when the last time a list was used (i.e. a message was sent to the list) under 1.8d? I'm in the process of moving over to 1.8e, on new hardware. Before I migrate lists over to the new box, I'd like to reduce the number of lists I need to migrate by culling deadwood.. Any thoughts on how to accomplish this? Cheers Sean
