Actually Mailman prior to 2.1.11 has this ability too. The following requirements apply regardless of version: 1) The list must be personalized 2) It doesn't work for digests because digests aren't personalized 3) If you want true, one-click unsubscribe, you have to expose the user's list password in plain text in every message to the user. For true one-click unsubscribe, put the following in msg_footer along with whatever else you want there: Remove me from this list: %(user_optionsurl)s?unsub=1&unsubconfirm=1&password=%(user_password)s If you don't want to include the password, you could use %(user_optionsurl)s?login-unsub=1 to generate the URL, but this URL takes you to the member options login page with the note at the top "The confirmation email has been sent." and the user isn't actually unsubscribed until the request is confirmed. Again, for these to work, 'personalize' must be set to 'Yes' or 'Full Personalization' on the Non-digest options page. If that setting isn't on the page, the server admin needs to put OWNERS_CAN_ENABLE_PERSONALIZATION = Yes in mm_cfg.py to enable it. -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
