ezmlm-idx doesn't support this...yet. Fred Lindberg, the maintainer of the
-idx patch has expressed a desire to set it up so that a potential
subscriber can confirm via a web page, rather than a confirmation e-mail.
The problem with ezmlm is that it tends to generate rather lengthy cookies
that cause some point-and-drool interfaces (notably people using web-based
e-mail) to break the URL/reply-to address for confirmations. Other than
that, it should be relatively simple to hack in.
At the very least, there could be a confirmation page (with a short URL)
where people could enter an e-mail address and cut-and-paste the cookie into
a form...but that's at least one extra step...
Any update, Fred?
