The confirmation email sent to the user is made from the verify.txt template which can only be edited with shell access to the host server per <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.048.htp> The content of the confirmation linged page is built on the fly by the Mailman/Cgi/confirm.py module. Changes, other than colors which can be set globally in mm_cfg.py, can only be made by editing the Python code of this module. >After the user does confirm via the confirm page and clicks on the >submit to confirm button, they are directed to another page - the >subscription confirmation page.

Other than changing the verify.txt template which can be done on a per list or per domain basis, the changes would be global and would be unlikely to be considered by a hosting provider. One way around this might be to create your own CGI confirmation page and convince the host to make a list or domain specific verify.txt template which would link to your page and include the cookie in the data passed to the CGI. Your page could then either send a confirmation email to Mailman or post to Mailman's confirm page and capture and massage its response. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
