Re: [Mailman-Users] Newbie questions
1. Mass subscription format: Real Name [EMAIL PROTECTED] Real2 Name2 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ...etc has worked for me. Real Name is optional, you can just put email addresses on each line, e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] ...etc 2. You can use email commands to retrieve the list of members by doing To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: (a subscriber's email address, pref. admin) Subject: who password [address=address] From the help: who password [address=address] See everyone who is on this mailing list. The roster is limited to list members only, and you must supply your membership password to retrieve it. If you're posting from an address other than your membership address, specify your membership address with `address=address' (no brackets around the email address, and no quotes!) You should be able to manipulate the reply easily enough to create a good text file for uploading to mailman.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Automatic deletion of posts by non-members of a list
There sure is, for Mailman 2.1.5 (and I belive earlier versions as well): go to Privacy Sender filters scroll down to Action to take for postings from non-members for which no explicit action is defined (near the bottom) set to Discard, yahoo no more pestering. Some other good options on that page others, look through and read each page in the admin section.

I've just moved to a new site. I had Mailman on both sites. Since I've gotten onto the new one, I am getting these quite frequently. I rarely got these before. It's getting to be quite annoying.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Making set delivery off default for new users
Thanks Mark, I came to the same conclusion and have made a hack that might do the job (emphasis on hack, not so much on the might do the job!) Members would sign up via a php form that later uses their username and password to set delivery off after they've confirmed. A little weird and maybe risky, but it's the easiest thing that came to mind.

No, there is no way to default delivery to 'off'. E.g., if they are subscribing by email, would something like the following be possible: To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: subscribe set delivery off Actually, I think it might work, but only if the list allows fully open (no confirmation/no approval) subscribes because in order to set delivery off, you have to be a member and authenticate, so you might do To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: subscribe password set authenticate password set delivery off but if the subscribe is waiting confirmation or approval, the set commands will fail. Also, you have to provide the password for the subscribe so you know what it is for the set authenticate. -- 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=showamp;file=faq01.027.htp
[Mailman-Users] Making set delivery off default for new users
Hello -- I imagine this is a strange request, but I'm wondering if it is possible to set the options of a new member with default of set delivery off? E.g., if they are subscribing by email, would something like the following be possible: To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: subscribe set delivery off I tried it, and naturally it didn't work. But is something like this possible? I'm making a list that will have an easy-to use web interface to access list archives, with mailman as the backend--but don't want people to get email from the list unless they abosultely want it; yet I want only subscribers to be able to post...
