[Mailman-Users] Having a simple unsubscribe webpage
Hi, I need help! I am at my wits end (especially since I am not being a proficient programmer). I have found useful HTML code on the Mailman website that sets up a subscription webpage - However, I want an unsubscribe button so that list members can come to a webpage, type in their email and have it removed directly - no questions asked (i.e. no redirection to the mailman admin pages, no confirmation emails etc) and I cant seem to be able to do so. Please help - any advice greatly appreciated. Hope to hear from someone, somehow Naj Dehlavi Communications ___ NZ Federation of Voluntary Welfare Organisations ___ PO Box 9517 Wellington New Zealand Phone 04 3850981 Fax 04 3853248 www.nzfvwo.org.nz ___ -- 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

First you have to ask yourself if you really want to allow anyone to unsubscribe anyone else without any verification. If this is a discussion list, this is a really bad idea - e.g., usera doesn't like a post from userb so usera unsubscribes userb. Even if it is an announcement list, it may not be a good idea. If you really want to do it, without any questions/confirmations, you'll have to either invoke a mailman command line tool like bin/remove_members from your web page or create your own CGI script. If you don't have administrative access to your Mailman server, you can't do it. -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Having a simple unsubscribe webpage
Thanks Mark, The list is used for announcements to our members who are disinclined to engage any further than being passive recipients. Yes, we also have administrative access to the mailman server. I had been hoping that there would have been some code in the listarchives that would have allowed us to do a cut and paste job by tweaking variables - being a voluntary organisation limits our internal IT capability and certainly closes off the prospect of paying someone else to come in with a solution. Thanks for your prompt input nonetheless. I'll attempt to unravel something over the weekend.
