AFAIK Mailman presently requires no passwords to sign up. A "subscribe" elicits an email containing a cookie, which when returned to the list server elicits a signup. At that time a password is emailed to the user. Nor does Mailman require users to use a password to submit a posting. Only for option change, including unsubscribe, is a password required. The sequence: -- user sends "subscribe" email to listserver or signs up on web page -- listserver sends confirming email containing cookie to user -- user returns confirming email to listserver -- listserver enrolls user is an example of what's called "double-opt-in". Be aware that you open yourself up to (perhaps justified) spam complaints, if for example I can sign up [EMAIL PROTECTED] by merely sending a "subscribe" to your list containing a forgery of his email address in the "From:" header line of my email. You'll also considerably increase your work as a list admin, as people are very prone to entering incorrect email addresses on web forms. Bounces consume a disproportionate amount of machine cycles on your MTA, and some will require hand resolution. Passwords or not, you'd be well-advised to preserve double opt-in. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Dan Wilder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Technical Manager & Editor SSC, Inc.
