I admint to having a ticket on pmt to get that set up.
Actually, it might be better to look into the actual database, and find the
latest email indexed? If it's older than <nn> something is wrong. It oculd
be the archives that's wrong and not indexer of course, but the point is
we'll get notified and someone can look into it.
Do you think we need to track it on a per-list basis, or just check for the
latest timestamp across all lists?
