The list activity report from the web interface does use the list changelog file, and the changelog file is only present if enabled in the list configuration. (It is not enabled by default.) It does include POST records in addition to ADD/SUB/DEL, etc. There is also a system-wide changelog that can be enabled by the site administrator. It only counts message distribution (MAIL/MAIL-MERGE), but does so for all lists. Neither the list-level nor site-wide changelog is retroactive. I.e., if you enable it today, you don’t get access to stats from last month. In general, I use Change-Log=Yes, rather than Change-Log=Yearly or any other interval. It’s a plain text file, and unless you have millions of ADD/DELETE command yearly, the file is unlikely to get very large very quickly. Once the log is rotated, it is no longer available for reporting via the web interface. -- Liam Kelly Senior Consulting Analyst L-Soft international [log in to unmask] LISTSERV® – Because Your Email Matters.

Commands tracked include SUBscribe/JOIN,SIGNOFF/UNSUBscribe, auto-deletions, and all changes to users' personal options. This doesn’t seem likely to track postings… I’m confused. > -----Original Message----- > From: LISTSERV List Owners' Forum [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On > Behalf Of Charles Clausen > Sent: Wednesday, January 25, 2017 5:52 PM > To: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> > Subject: Re: [LSTOWN-L] list report > > I haven’t figured that out, but I believe it is likely. > > > > On Jan 25, 2017, at 12:20 PM, Crovo, Bob <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> wrote: > > > > Thanks, Charles.
