The challenge (and it’s all me) is in getting baby steps to work.

I am looking to start with SUBSCRIBE_FORM_SECRET, but honestly just don’t get 
the definition of a “non-empty string”

The default is SUBSCRIBE_FORM_SECRET = None

If I replace None with anything else, I get the following when I try to restart 
mailman

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "../bin/mailmanctl", line 107, in <module>
     from Mailman import mm_cfg
   File "/var/lib/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py", line 167, in <module>
     SUBSCRIBE_FORM_SECRET = random
NameError: name 'random' is not defined

The file is a "Python" script, so you need to enter the string as a python string, something like:


SUBSCRIBE_FROM_SECRET = "My Secret"
