I guess you could treat the list like a bounces list.
The bounces list maintains dates that addresses were
added to the list, and has the capability of expiring
those addresses based on that date.
NOTE: The date feature is enabled by NOT stripping
comments from subscriber addresses. This is turned
on by default in the listname.config file and must be
shut off.
Try doing a man on bounce (if your majordomo man pages
are installed). Of course you would still have to run
a nightly cron to have the bounce script remove expired
users from your list.
Since the list is closed and requires approval for
subscribe commands, add your own comment something
like this to your approve command line.
approve <$pw> subscribe <$list> <$email> (20000502)
Hmmm, the deeper I dig into this, the more it looks
like the bounce command only works from the command
line.
As for MJ2, I have seen reports here that it is quite
stable and usable. There are features being added
almost daily. I do not follow it too closely, as I
am very happy with my current configuration.
