I run several mailman-lists for people with big distance to everything technical. I noticed that almost noone subscribes using the standard subscription-procedure via mailman-webpages cause these forms are to complex for these users.
Lot of people have requested information about this topic in the last years, but I couldnt find a central source on solutions. So I tried to develop a small HOWTO how to create a simple single-fielded webform to subscribe/unsubscribe to a list and customize the resulting webpages and (if you use it) confirmation-mails. Unfortunately the Unsubscribe still gives me a headache. Creating a simple webform seems to be almost impossible, cause the unsubscribe-link needs to contain the users mailadress and does not respect the "confirmation needed for unsubscription"-settings in the list-options http://<SERVERNAME>/mailman/options/<LISTNAME>/<ADRESS>?unsub=Unsubscribe;unsubconfirm=1 And I didnt find a way to customize the unsubscribe-result-html-page I would appreatiate if you would visit my HOWTO at http://www.goldfisch.at/knowwiki/howtos/mailman_un_subscribe and maybe you can give information on the missing pieces or general feedback. thnx, peter -- mag. peter pilsl - goldfisch.at IT-Consulting Tel: +43-650-3574035 Tel: +43-1-8900602 Fax: +43-1-8900602-15 skype: peter.pilsl [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.goldfisch.at ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org 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/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
