Any reference to these tricks?

I'm interested in what may be a slightly different question:
Is there any official way of maintaining a master list, perhaps in XML,
so the new user is asked to give some information, eg full name,
which is then kept (somewhere) with the email address?

[Mailman-Users] MySQL database?

2002-05-16 Thread Doug La Farge

I've just installed Mailman and am quite please at how easy it was to 
get it up and running.  I now have two issues that I cannot seem to 
find documentation on: 1) running Mailman for Virtual Hosts and 2) 
using MySQL or data from MySQL to include in the mail list.

With a bit of time I can probably figure out the former issue.

The latter issue seems a bit more tricky for a variety of reasons. 
In short, I have other functionality (CGI/mod_perl scripts) running 
for virtual web hosts that allow users to input email address and 
thus be attached to a mailing list.  I'd like to either a) use 
MySLQ as the database for Mailman or b) pull those addresses from 
MySQL and include them in the Mailman database for the mail list. 
Both ideas have obvious caveats and pitfalls (how to sync an 
un-subscribe request with MySQL if I use the original Mailman 
database...).

Any ideas or leads are much appreciated.

See hostname that this list prefers on the first admin page for each
list.
