The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

["Widerski, Betty" <address@concealed>]

Hi –

 

I have a request to be able to include an end/expiration date for our lists – not something that actively inactivates a list, but something we could use to generate a report of past-their-date lists so we can contact the owners then delete.

 

I’m not seeing anything like that in Sympa – but this is our first use of it so want to check I’m not missing anything.

 

My current idea is to add a keyword and date in a list’s Description, then output a grep of all the lists’ info files for a line containing the keyword – but I don’t want to get into building external scripts to massage that output into a report of expire dates older than X, which my manager would like.

 

Thanks

Betty
