[Mailman-Users] Email Command Confirmations
Dear List, I recently went to the archives to see if there was a way to turn off the email command confirmations, and I came across the email thread below. I looked at the patch, was able to change the code, but I am still getting email command confirmations. I am guessing that it is because I am not doing something right, since I am new to using Mailman and know very little about Python. So, I have a few questions. 1 - Does this patch work on Mailman 2.1.5? (This is the version that comes with Mac OS Tiger Server.) If not, does anyone have instructions on how to upgrade on OS X Server? Does 2.1.9 still need this patch? 2 - In the patch, it says to set RESPOND_TO_SUCCESSFUL_CONFIRM = Yes. But in the code, it looks for (not mm_cfg.RESPOND_TO_SUCCESSFUL_CONFIRM). If I don't want the confirmations, shouldn't I set RESPOND_TO_SUCCESSFUL_CONFIRM = No? 3 - Do I have to compile the code after I change it? Do I have to recreate the list to make the changes work? My client is waiting on this fix before they go live with a new web application, so any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Re: [Mailman-Users] Email Command Confirmations
I figured out how to upgrade Mailman from 2.1.5 to 2.1.6 on Mac OS X Server 10.4.8. I followed the instructions for the patch. It does not work. Has anyone had better success with it and can anyone point me in the right direction? Any help would be greatly appreciated. - Deepali On Dec 5, 2006, at 2:09 PM, deepali wrote: > Dear List, > > I recently went to the archives to see if there was a way to turn > off the email command confirmations, and I came across the email > thread below. > > I looked at the patch, was able to change the code, but I am still > getting email command confirmations.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Turning off unsubscription confirmation
This explains why your patch didn't work for me! I was trying to turn off the "your email command was successful" emails that get sent back when the user subscribes to a listserve. From what you've said below, the patch addresses some other issue.
