We've discussed this on the list before as well. The key is to replace the -unsubscribe alias with a script that finds the email address in one of the sublists and then either unsubscribe them from the sublist, or sends them back a URL that points to the web-based unsubscribe for the user.
Something like this: We recieved an unsubscribe request from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe please visit: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/[EMAIL PROTECTED] === You could also simply have the script find the proper sublist and then forward the unsubscribe message onto that sublist The archives contain some samples for generating email activated scripts and commands. Good Luck - Jon Carnes BTW: I also recommend that you edit the listinfo webpage for the Master list so that it points users to the individual sublists (should they need to edit their settings). This works easily for Umbrella lists that are separated out using some logical identifiable parameter like the first letter of the email address or the department of an organization.
