This is actually quite easy to do, but you will have to write your own
scripts for it (or hire someone to do it for you), as this is not a function
of Mailman.
Check out the command line scripts in ~mailman/bin/...
Run an hourly list of your active users out of /etc/passwd. Compare the new

Yes. It *sounds* like Mandrake's Mailman RPM is broken, so you'll have
to build from source.

Sendmail is not intuitive. Very true, and a very good argument against its
use. If you don't mind, I'll translate that statement into "Sendmail is
overly complex and convuluted."

RPMs under Drake, in my experience, are evile. I have gotten precisely one RPM for
