[Mailman-Users] Making Your Name Mandatory?

2007-04-23 Thread David Devereaux-Weber, P.E.
Is there a way to make Your Name a mandatory part of the subscription 
process?  This is a great help to list operators trying to troubleshoot 
email problems.

Only by modifying code.

It would be fairly easy to modify Mailman/Cgi/subscribe.py to require a
real name be provided for a web based subscribe.

Email subscribe would be trickier because the real name comes from the
From: header of the subscribe email, so what do you tell the user if
there isn't a real name?

You might also want to look at the web based confirm -
Mailman/Cgi/confirm.py, as that allows override of the initial real
name.
