I run various Mailman mailing lists on my servers since - well - decades
;-). Subscribers usually won't see the original Mailman interface web
pages, but I have prepared own pages accordingly. Users can subscribe
and unsubscribe from these forms.

Example:
http://www.dsd.net/news/news_abo.php?lan=en

I handle the subscribe and unsubscribe commands of-the-web page in a PHP
server-script which then sends emails to the relevant mailing lists.
This works fine with subscriptions.

But when a user wants to unsubscribe, chances are that I receive a
message from the list with the "You gave the wrong password" result.

When my script sends an unsubscribe email to the relevant list, it has
this general format:

----- snip -----
From: <my-mailinglist-admin-email-address>
To: <mailinglist>-request@lists.<mydomain>.net
Ref: unsubscribe <myadminpassword> address=<user-email-address>
----- snap -----

What am I doing wrong? Is it possible that there is a conflict between
the <myadminpassword> and a maybe user-defined <userpassword> when I try
to unsubscribe the user with my <myadminpassword>?
