That doesn't work... it just causes Mailman to reply with detailed instructions on how to unsubscribe via email. The detailed instructions mention needing a password, which prompts most users (because few ever set a password) to have to use the web interface. In the end it takes 15 steps to unsubscribe from Mailman where as other list software is just 2 (unsubscribe + confirm).
<rant> Mailman should allow unsubscriptions via confirmed email w/o requiring a password, there is no valid reason to require the password when unsubscribing via email. </rant> -Jim P. > -----Original Message----- > From: Jim Hale > Sent: Thursday, September 19, 2002 11:12 PM > > > They should just send an email TO the list with Unsubscribe as > the subject. > > Jim Hale > --- > > > > Quoting Trek*Spot Webmaster <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > I'm using mailman for a mailing list on my site.
