I'd like to see that sample PHP code too if you wouldn't mind. :) Jim Hale --- 'The OS Tells The PC What To Do With Itself" - Me,1990 --- Visit Our Personal Website at http://hale.dyndns.org, Our Forums at http://haleforum.dyndns.org or Our Photo Galleries at http://halegallery.dyndns.org.

If I understand you correctly, you want one w3 [web] page that lists all mailman mailing lists, with an empty checkbox next to each list. The user would type in their e.mail address at the top of the w3 page and checkmark each list they want to subscribe to, and then click a submit button to subscribe to a bunch of lists all at the same time. What you would need to do is create a separate w3 page that contained a form. Using the checkbox form element, you would assign a mailto: command for each list [eg: if you have a list: [EMAIL PROTECTED], the form would send a subscribe request to the proper subscribe address for that list if a checkbox was filled out]. If you created this form, there are some safety issues to consider: 1) without using javascript, make sure that the form is completely filled in - make sure that the person filling out the form has put their address in the form. 2) make sure all lists are set to 'confirm' when a subscribe request has been made. Otherwise some trouble maker will put their friend's e.mail address on the form, and checkmark all the lists to subscribe his friend to a ton of lists. Mailman has a setting that allows this to not happen - each subscription request, using the 'confirm' setting, is sent back to the requestor asking them to reply to the message to confirm that the user wants to subscribe. If the user replies to the confirm message, then and only then are they subscribed. To create a form like I describe above, I would use PHP [though perl and python would work too - i just use PHP for most of my w3 programming, so i am a bit biased]. I can send you and/or the list a small sample of how I would create the above form, if you're interested. /vjl/ ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ This message was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/jim-ml2%40halemail. dyndns.org ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ This message was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
