Mailman puts those into the footer by default


Not quite. The default footer for this list for example is only

--
Mailman-Users mailing list
Mailman-Users@python.org
http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users

but other information such as an unsubscribe mailto: can easily be
added.

Note that unless one turns off include_rfc2369_headers, there is a
List-Unsubscribe: header in every message. This is intended to allow
an MUA to provide an unsubscribe function/button, although many if
not most MUAs do not provide such a function and do not show the
header either.[1]

Also note that the command line command

bin/remove_members --fromall u...@example.com

wull remove u...@example.com from all lists on the server.

[1] Ironically, hotmail's web client does provide a You're subscribed
to this mailing list. Unsubscribe link when displaying a list
message, but the feature is broken because the header looks like

List-Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users,
   mailto:mailman-users-requ...@python.org?subject=unsubscribe

Which is a perfectly valid, RFC 2369 compliant header, but Windows live
mail interprets it as a single URL and tries to go to

http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users,mailto:mailman-users-requ...@python.org?subject=unsubscribe

I have reported this to Microsoft, but I haven't had the patience to
continue beating on it until someone actually understands the problem.

Of course.

Yes, because that would be too easy

Of course, but I suspect that the users who are astute/sophisticated
enough to follow that link to the listinfo page, find and click the
Unsubscribe or edit options button and then fill in their email
address and click Unsubscribe on the options login page are not the
ones the OP is concerned about.

The ones I would be concerned about are the clue-free types who scream 
in ALL CAPS, and insist that it is my duty to respond to their every 
whim and to unsubscribe them from every mailing list in existence on the 
entire Internet, and that because the Mailman software is associated 
with Python and python.org, we must obviously be the morons who run the 
entire thing.


Right.

Those are the ones I tend to reserve my harshest punishment/criticism for.


But I'm trying to be a more optimistic and positive person now (after my 
surgery for thyroid cancer), so I guess I need to change that.  Maybe 
once they finally start me on the synthetic thyroid replacement drugs, 
and I feel like I've got some energy back.

[Mailman-Users] multiple lists ..

2009-07-16 Thread Khalil Abbas

hi,

 

I have a client who has 15 lists, 100 people in each, his hosting plan has 
kinda of these limitations .. he's got an email address for cancellation but 
it's hell to go thru the whole 15 lists removing the members that needs to 
cancel ..

 

what's the best solution for this dilemma? is there a way to automatically show 
a message on the top of each email with the cancellation email for each list 
that distributed that certain email? like : to cancel please send an email to: 
list10-le...@domain.com ?

 

or does the umbrella list solve it? like creating an umbrella list and any 
email sent to the umbrella-leave is automatically removed from the 
corresponding list ??

 

thanks ..
