No. That is, you aren't missing anything obvious. The method is not obvious until after you know it. In the administrator's Membership Management page, find the address in the list, uncheck the "subscr" column for the address (whose heading has likely scrolled off the top), and submit your changes If you have access to the command line, as the mailman user, on the server, you can use .../bin/remove_members to remove many members at once [or just one, for that matter]. Without that access, you're stuck in the web tool. --John -- John Baxter [EMAIL PROTECTED] Port Ludlow, WA, USA -- 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

Re: [Mailman-Users] Unsubscribing users without notification
First of all, you should let Mailman remove users who are bouncing excessively. Check out the admin options for this and modify if necessary. This is not a task that you should be worrying about - that is why you use Mailman... If you really want to catch the traffic for an unsubscribe then turn off your MTA (Sendmail, or whatever) then do the unsubscribe. Delete the created message out of your queue. Turn your MTA back on. There are also various MTA add-ons that will let you catch the traffic before it leaves your site. Jon Carnes - Original Message - From: "J.

[Mailman-Users] Unsubscribing users without notification
Is there a way (running Mailman 2.0.7) to remove a user from a list *without* allowing a message to go out to that person? I have two instances where this would be helpful. One is a case where sendmail reports "Can not check MX records for recipient host domainname.com" and Mailman has been trying to deliver the message forever. The other is a case where somehow, probably in a mass subscription, someone was subscribed with [EMAIL PROTECTED] as the address -- that is, it should have been "net" not "ne" -- and I want to remove that person from the list. Obviously, it is pointless to mail a notification of such action to a bad address. Ideas? Fred Ball -- Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users

In Mailman 2.1, you can mass unsubscribe by filling in addresses in a big text box, or by uploading a file of addresses, one per line. Note, this also works for mass subscribes. -Barry -- Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users

Hello there, Is there a way to mass-UNsubscribe users from the system? I handle at least 50 unsubscribe requests a week, and it's not fun to do it one at a time. Regards, Raví Mark SinghCommunications and Membership CoordinatorOntario Clean Air Alliance416-926-1907 ext 245
[Mailman-Users] unsubscribing users problem?
Mailman experts, I have an owner of a list that cut and paste a lot of user addresses along with their full name at the end of their address into the subscription field. For some reason it allowed the subscriptions. However, it won't allow the owner to remove any names individually or collectively since they all appear to be invalid addresses. The only way I could remove it was to go into the shell account and use the remove_members command. Questions? 1. Shouldn't the subscription method have stopped these addresses if they were invalid in the first place? 2. Shouldn't it be possible for the owner to remove any addresses even if they are invalid (with spaces, etc)? Any thoughts on this? 3. Any hope for a feature to allow owners one or two clicks to unsubscribe all users from their list in the future? Having to click next to each name for very large subscriptions can be a pain and I don't really want to allow shell access to the remove_members command if I can help it.
