There is more than one way to do this with Mailman, but on a mailing list, it means that any user could unsubscribe any other user. We usually see these one-click unsubscribe buttons on marketing newsletters and similar correspondence, but they don't seem to be a good option for a mailing list. (At least, I haven't figured out how to make it work in a way that would fit with the needs of a mailing list.) ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
