There essentially isn't one. > I have easily determined the email address to reach this interface for my >lists, and of the 'help' and 'help set' commands to get the list of >commands for interfacing with mailman by email. But I hope/think there >must be more supported than is in that list. Only email approval/denial of held posts and requests. That's about it. And that requires admin_immed_notify be set to Yes so the admin/moderator will get a notice with a confirm token in it. > In particular, I see how to subscribe someone by new email address, but >not how to set the associated 'name' for the subscriber... data that is >kept/supported/shown in the web interface. Is it not supported? If a user subscribes him/herself, the real name is taken from the From: header of the e-mail. If anyone subscribes a different address via the address= option on an e-mail subscribe command, no real name can be specified. Note that if the list is set for subscription confirmation, a confirmation of this request is sent to the address to be added, no matter who submits the request. It really is not designed for admin subscribes. > Is it in one of those 'documentation' items that I think I looked >completely through? :-) No, you haven't overlooked it. Mailman is designed for web based list administration only. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
