Just hit "reply", then "send", and she's done. The token itself could be reduced, but it's still going to be at *least* 5 or 6 characters, and then it looks like spam to me. I've gotten lots of spam from people who put a 4-8 character ticket identifier in the Subject field.

This may or may not require MTA changes to recognize > '+' as a recipient delimiter. Note: this works by putting the confirmation token in the return address after a '+'. So it is *your* MTA that needs to recognize '+' as ending the mailbox. The confirmation message sent to the person trying to subscribe goes to their usual address, so isn't a problem. All the necessary configuration can be done at your end. Whether your host will help you is up to them, of course, but most sites that support Mailman already have that configuration. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org https://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: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
