Come to think of it ... there were some perl scripts packaged in with some of
the MajorCool code last year (can't say that it's part of the current version or
not; I haven't looked in awhile) which built the majordomo aliases file,
including a script as a recipient of each list which went something like:
"|head -1 >>$LISTDIR/$LIST.count
Then all you had to do was "wc -l $LISTDIR/$LIST.count" to get the count of
messages sent to that particular list.
