That should be trivial for any user to do that - certainly I, and others on
this list, would not have a problem. However: many of my users would find those
instructions baffling, they can just about manage email - on a good day.
Like it or not it is sometimes easier for me to do that sort of thing than try
to explain it to them. In the past I have done it by running up MySQL and
hacking the table directly.
I host several mail lists, some of which I do not manage - my 'clients' do that
and, with a bit of hand holding have learned to add/remove/... people to lists
via the web interface. They do not know what the mailman shell is - and I would
not want to give them shell access to the machine.
So: it would be really useful if the list manager were able to do this via the
web interface.
Please!
