[Mailman-Users] Variations on Reminders?

I take a more pro-active approach; once a year (and it's about that 
time again...) I send out a message to every list's managers. Any 
that don't respond get a second, and then third warning. After that, 
the list is deleted.

But I use a separate (FileMaker) database to hold list information, 
and it can automatically do this for me (except the list deletion 
part).

people, the more frequently evil deeds would occur.
