From the FAQ: Q. Can I put the user's address in the footer that Mailman adds to each message? A. Yes, in Mailman 2.1. The site admin needs to enable personalization by setting the following variables in the mm_cfg.py file VERP_PASSWORD_REMINDERS = 1 VERP_PERSONALIZED_DELIVERIES = 1 VERP_DELIVERY_INTERVAL = 1 VERP_CONFIRMATIONS = 1 If you want to give the power to your list owners: OWNERS_CAN_ENABLE_PERSONALIZATION = 1 <#> HOW TO SET UP PERSONALIZATION FOR LIST ADMINS It's all done in the NON-DIGEST OPTIONS screen: <#><#>Go to the option for "Should Mailman personalize each non-digest delivery?" "Select No to disable personalization and send messages to the members in batches. Select Yes to personalize deliveries and allow additional substitution variables in message headers and footers (see below). In addition, by selecting Full Personalization, the To header of posted messages will be modified to include the member's address instead of the list's posting address. " <#><#>Go to the option for "Footer added to mail sent to regular list members." Paste this text: _______________________________________________ GENERAL LIST INFORMATION: The %(real_name)s mailing list %(real_name)s@%(host_name)s %(web_page_url)slistinfo%(cgiext)s/%(_internal_name)s _______________________________________________ YOUR PERSONAL SUBSCRIBER OPTIONS: Unsubscribe or choose new options at %(user_optionsurl)s For all lists you are subscribed to at %(host_name)s under the email address %(user_delivered_to)s your current password is %(user_password)s _______________________________________________ END OF HOW-TO SET UP PERSONALIZATION Has anyone tried it and had to stop due to performance issues, how bad is the drag? Also, I really wanted to include a one-click unsubscribe. But I'm sure that many subscribers are having mail forwarded and it would only frustrate them. Any solutions? I would think that it would significantly lower support costs to be able to include an options url and the password in every message. I'd love to hear how this works out for other list owners.
