How do you authenticate that a user is who they say they are when
they're entering subscription requests at the web interface?
Do you do a mailback for confirmation? (I think this would actually be
a minus, due to the nature of our users)
Do you provide a password mechanism to avoid the mailback? If so, can
it interface with kerberos?
I don't know if you're familiar with Athena, Moira, and Moira's
"listmaint" software, but we're looking to replace the Athena mailing
list software with something new, and mailman sounds promising. I just
need a way to authenticate unsophisticated users... and we tend to use
our kerberos realm more as a distributed password system (that has
better security than NIS) than as an ultra-secure authentication system.
