Heck, we let people off our lists with just a single email. A little procmail magic puts the "From:" address and list name in a data file, then a cron job comes along and picks that up and calls /usr/lib/mailman/bin/remove_members listname [EMAIL PROTECTED] no complaints from anybody so far. We run several announce lists, and asking any more than a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] is asking for irate subscribers. We don't need those! -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Dan Wilder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Technical Manager SSC, Inc. P.O.
