And email commands send an email response to the 'sender'. So anyone who attempts to subscribe or unsubscribe via your web page gets some kind of email reply. Further, in the case of an unsubscribe (and maybe subscribe depending on list settings), they get a 'confirm' email that requires further action. In the case of someone who is already a member, the email response says that. If you want to change this behavior, you can 1) modify Mailman/Queue/CommandRunner.py and/or the appropriate Mailman/Commands/cmd-* scripts to do what you want, but you may need to do this in a list specific way if you have other lists, or 2) change your web page to post to your own CGI or to run the bin/add_members and bin/remove_members commands, although the latter will have permission problems unless you make the command files SETGID which you may not want depending on who has shell access to the server. To avoid this, you can access the commands through a SETGID wrapper. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
