    You can also setup a very simply watchdog script that runs on your
Majordomo server once a night:

cd /var/majordomo/lists ; sort *-l *-l-digest | uniq -c | sort -nr | head

    This will give you the top ten people subscribed to the most lists
on your server (mailing lists here are all named consistently).  I've
got a few other things that are reported as well (top ten queued/blocked
addresses, breakdown of Majordomo commands received, etc.)
