Your suggestion appears to be: For every user who wishes to subscribe to the newsletter an admin (me or my client) must go to a web page and manually add them, one at a time.
This is completely unviable. Either I am harassing my very busy client to add members manually or I am spending valuable time (for which I'm certain I could never bill the client) doing this task myself . If there is not a way for users to add themselves to a one-way newsletter mode of mailman, it's simply not practical.

The admin generally would do it through the built-in web interface. Subscribers should be able to go to the listinfo page and attempt to subscribe or attempt it through the -request, -join and -subscribe addresses. As far as I know there are no admin tools available through email beyond the 'who' command. -Jeff ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/
