Every list has a LISTNAME-request address that is specifically for the purpose of handling email requests. If you have a list called "slackwarerocks" then folks can subscribe to it by sending an email to "slackwarerocks-request". The subject should be something like: subscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] Likewise they can unsubscribe, as well as a host of other options. Take a scan through the Docs for more details. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users
