The avenue for being removed is not through any Mailman functionality. The footer for the email will have instructions for how to leave the list. Basically, the user must email the Admin who will then remove the user from a Contact List manager - which is where all of the email addresses originate. Again, I'm using separate functionality to collect email addresses. There is a one way stream from the MySQL database to the MailMan list. The Admin is using the list to send out a weekly news letter - that is the only piece of email that should ever be sent to the list. With this in mind there is little instruction needed other than how to unsubscribe. It occurs to me that Mailman is overkill for our needs. I thought about hacking a script to edit the virtualusertable file with sendmail to simply send to an alias. This leaves a security hole - anyone can send to the alias which is not desired.
So where's the template for the email that's sent out? :-) At 3:07 PM -0400 6/4/02, Scott Courtney wrote: >On Tuesday 04 June 2002 02:00 pm, Doug La Farge wrote: >> >> header including the following: >> >List-Help: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=help> >> >List-Unsubscribe: > >Are you sure you don't want to leave these two in?
