I think we're saying the same things, it's just that the mailman
terminology has us confused.
"Allowed sender" on our side means mailman's "subscribed but no mail"
We consider the term "subscribed" to mean that you are actively
receiving mail from the list, not that you are a member of it.
Being an allowed sender means exactly that, you are allowed to send
messages to the list, but you are not receiving mail.
Rob is right in his other email where he mentioned that simply
subscribing and then unsubscribing has this effect, even though we
don't explicitly mention it in the ui. You can check the status of all
members of the list by navigating to the manage membership view, which
shows you which members are subscribed and which are only allowed
senders.
But users don't need to explicitly subscribe/unsubscribe to become an
allowed sender. This happens naturally when they first send out a
message. If they send an email, they are asked to confirm, and then
become allowed senders when they confirm (assuming a public list). All
subsequent messages go through without confirmation. If they post ttw,
they automatically become an allowed sender.

Thanks for the reply, Robert. I might have not been clear about what
I want
though. I'll try to clarify. What I want is to have an option for
users to
disable mail delivery to their email accounts while they are still
subscribed
to a list. In that case they won't need to confirm their email
address because
their are already subscribed.
For example, the lists in sourceforge have this feature. I am
subscribed to a
couple of lists so I can post there, but the emails never get to my
inbox.
Instead I use a news client application to read emails posted on
those lists.

That feature should already be in there.
If somebody new sends a message to a mailing list, then will get an
email back asking to confirm their email address. Once they do, the
message goes through, and they become an "allowed sender". If they
post something through the web, they automatically become an allowed
sender.
Members can toggle their membership state by viewing the mailing
list,
or sending a message to the list with "unsubscribe" in the subject.

Hi there,
I am using listen 0.5b1 with Plone 2.5.2 and I'd like to allow
people subscribed to a the listen list (Members List type) to be
able configure whether they want to receive email or not. ie, some
people want to be subscribed and able to sent emails to a list, but
only read emails using the web interface. Do you know of anything
like that already implemented? If not, any pointer on where should I
start looking at to implement this?
Thanks in advance,
Emanuel
