We get error messages, but the > errors don't tell me which list the owner is on. This may not be useful to you unless you're running unix, but I'll post it in case it helps anyone. I built the following crude C program to find subscriptions, but it also lists stuff in the header which matches. Taking the output of this utility and looking for lines which contain "owner=" (e.g. under unix, by using grep) would find the information you're looking for. The program ran through our ~300 list files in a few seconds on an RS/6000-43P. A few customizations may be needed, including specifically at least the directory where LISTSERV resides. I built this for AIX, then ported it to Linux. There's a comment which shows the needed values for the only thing I had to change in that port.
