How about something like this:
- In the aliases file, add an entry for the unsubscribe email:
volleyball-unsub: "|/home/mailman/ext/v-unsub.alias"
- Create the directory /home/mailman/ext
mkdir /home/mailman/ext
chown mail /home/mailman/ext
chmod 0700 /home/mailman/ext
- In /home/mailman/ext create the script "v-unsub.alias":
#! /bin/bash
#
# Script to unsubscribe user from volleyball list.
# Loads file /home/mailman/ext/v-unsub.txt
# That file is later processed by a Mailman cron job
# /home/mailman/ext/v-unsub.cron
#
# Mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
# Subject: unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED]
UNSUB=`grep -i "Subject: " - |head -1 |cut -f2- -d:`
for i in $UNSUB
do
echo $i >> /home/mailman/ext/v-unsub.txt
done
# End of script
- Create the script v-unsub.cron
#! /bin/bash
#
# Script to unsubscribe user from volleyball list.
# Removes users found in file /home/mailman/ext/v-unsub.txt
# The file is loaded via an unsubscribe alias: v-unsub.alias
for i in `cat /home/mailman/ext/v-unsub.txt`
do
/home/mailman/bin/remove_members volleyball $i
done
- Make the scripts executable:
chmod a+x /home/mailman/ext/v-unsub.alias
chmod a+x /home/mailman/ext/v-unsub.cron
- Add the script to the Mailman cron jobs:
su mailman
cron -i
15 * * * * /home/mailman/ext/v-unsub.cron
===
There is no error checking on any of the scripts and basically anyone
can unsubscribe anyone (or everyone) from the list, but it should work
as a base.
Take care - Jon Carnes
