How can I make some messages in a Mailman list archive public, and others private? or what is the closest I can get to this behaviour?
I'm setting up mailman at my housing coop, http://campcoop.com/ We're a small group and historically we've no tradition of online communication - so I wanna keep any friction or overhead to a minimum There are many benefits to working in the open and having public list archives - I'd like to encourage this - but there are some messages which, for good reason, members don't want publicly archived To minimize friction, I don't want to confuse members with membership in two mailing lists: one with public archives and one with private archives Is there any way to make some messages public and others private, in the same list archive? It's OK for all messages' subjects to be public in the archive index, so long as following the link to view private messages requires a password One thought was to make <list-name>-priv...@campcoop.com an alias of <list-name>@campcoop.com, then have a cron job periodically crawl the archive and regenerate .htaccess files to require passwords to access any messages sent to <list-name>-priv...@campcoop.com ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
