The STATS command is only available on VM, and is not likely to be ported to other environments any time soon. However, I think that you have 1.8d of LISTSERV, right? If so, then you can use the Change-Log feature to get the information you want. Simply add this: * Change-Log=Yes to your list header. This creates a file called listname.changelog (where listname is the name of the list, of course), which looks like this: 19980201130629 SIGNOFF [log in to unmask] 19980201130629 SUBSCRIBE [log in to unmask] 19980201130629 AUTODEL [log in to unmask] 19980201130630 AUTODEL [log in to unmask] 19980201130630 AUTODEL [log in to unmask] 19980201130630 AUTODEL [log in to unmask] 19980201130631 SIGNOFF [log in to unmask] 19980201130719 SUBSCRIBE [log in to unmask] 19980201130743 SUBSCRIBE [log in to unmask] 19980201130743 CHANGE [log in to unmask] [log in to unmask] The first field is the datetime-stamp of when a particular even happened, the second is the event that happened, the third is the email address it happened to, and depending on the event, other fields are pretty obvious. You can get a copy of the changelog so far either directly off the server if you have physical access to the file itself (it's a text file) or you can ask LISTSERV to send it to you via e-mail by sending the command: GET listname.CHANGELOG PW=your_password (assuming you are the list owner, of course). There is also an unsupported utility available on our "contributions" ftp site: ftp://ftp.lsoft.com/contrib/changelog_check.exe which you can use to get subsets of the changelog (play around with it, it should be pretty obvious how it works -- just don't expect wonders, it's a very simple program).
