Please can someone tell if/how one can implement the below with Mailman:
Goal: launch a university-wide mailing list for students at a large university. * Each student needs to be verified by a moderator before being allowed to join, so non-students can’t. * Problem: too much work for one central moderator or set of moderators, to know who is or isn’t a student (potentially 40,000 users). * Luckily, each student lives in some dorm on campus and each dorm has a master who should know all the students, so the natural moderator responsibility should fall on dorm masters. * On Mailman user screen, student should be able to pick his/her dorm from a drop-down list as required part of the signup. * Then Mailman should send the request specifically and only to the dorm master for the student. * That dorm master should be able to approve the request. So: is this possible? Thanks! BTW – this isn’t actually for a university but a more decentralized organization, so please don’t tell me that the university’s central records should already have students’ e-mails! Thanks! ------------------------------------------------------ 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/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
