[Mailman-Users] Subscribing by Email Command AND Including Name
Am I missing something? Is it possible to send a subscription request to a mail list WITH the name of the subscriber? This is possible in “Mass Subscription” but I do not see a place to include a name in a command string by email. I would like to have my list open for subscription, however I want the names of subscribers in the list. -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org

This is possible in “Mass Subscription” but I do not see a place to include a name in a command string by email. I would like to have my list open for subscription, however I want the names of subscribers in the list. It depends. If the user sends email to the list-join or list-subscribe address or to list-request with a plain subscribe command, the user's name will be taken from the From: header of the email. I.e., an email From: My Name m...@example.com To: list.j...@example.net is a request to subscribe m...@example.com with name 'My Name'. On the other hand, if you send a subscribe command with the address= option to the list-request address in order to subscribe an address other than the From: header address, there is no way to specify a user name with that command. You can send, e.g., the command subscribe mypasswd digest without the address= option to specify a password and/or (no)digest, and as long as it doesn't have address=, both name (if any) and address will be taken form the From: header. -- Mark Sapiro m...@msapiro.netThe highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

Also, even without the patch, if you sent a
subscribe nodigest address=...@example.com
command to the list-request address, it shouldn't trigger that error
unless you also had, e.g., a bare 'subscribe' in the subject. In mails
to -request, both Subject: and body are scanned for commands so if you
mail to -request with Subject: subscribe and body
subscribe nodigest address=...@example.com
that's two subscribe commands and the plain subscribe will trigger
the bug.
The web form that you pointed me at should work regardless of this error
with the cmd_subscribe.py utility?
That's correct.

Mark,
Nope, I didn't realise that a restart was required. I just restarted it
and it seems to work fine now. Thanks for the help, once again.

[Mailman-Users] subscribing by email
Hello,
We are running mailman 2.1.10 on Solaris 9 with postfix.
We have a customer who would like to use a form on a website to
subscribe people to a mailing list. In theory, the form would email the
details the list-join address of the list. I have tried following the
instructions from the members' manual:
subscribe [PASSWORD] [digest-nodigest] [address=ADDRESS]
Subscribe to this mailing list. Your password must be given to
unsubscribe or change your options, but
if you omit the password, one will be generated for you. You may be
periodically reminded of your
password.
The next argument may be either: 'nodigest' or 'digest' (no quotes!). If
you wish to subscribe an address
other than the address you sent this request from, you may specify
'address=ADDRESS' (no brackets
around the email address, and no quotes!)
I am testing this process with a test list using the following email:

You can't send a generic subscribe command to to the -join or

In Python, this means mailman is trying to lowercase the password but
there is nothing to lowercase.

Brad Knowles wrote: Also does mailman 2.1.3 support the sending of a blank email to listname[EMAIL PROTECTED] ? (or some similar address) instead of the subscribe email via request? Sure. Just set up your aliases to support that. Mailman doesn't actually see anything of the addresses that were used to submit the messages, it just takes the command-line options it's passed via the alias definition. There should be no need to add aliases for that, they already exist. The listname-join (and listname-leave) aliases will ignore the subject and body. The mailman list admin manual says this: 1.1 A List's Email Addresses [...] • [EMAIL PROTECTED] - by sending a message to this address, a new member can request subscription to the list. Both the Subject: header and body of such a message are ignored. Note that [EMAIL PROTECTED] is an alias for the -join address. • [EMAIL PROTECTED] - by sending a message to this address, a member can request unsubscription from the list. As with the -join address, the Subject: header and body of the message is ignored. Note that [EMAIL PROTECTED] is an alias for the -leave address.

I would strongly encourage you to upgrade to the latest version, which is 2.1.9. I am looking to get users to subscribe and unsubscribe from certain lists using email. I am getting them to emal listname[EMAIL PROTECTED] with subscribe in the message body. This works fine with an empty subject field (they get one confirmation email as expected) but if they put a subject on the subscription request email they receive two subscription confirmation emails from mailman in reply. Anyone no why this happens? They would like to put something in the subject. I'm not sure, but I'd suggest looking through the list of bugs on the Mailman Sourceforge page.

[Mailman-Users] Subscribing Via Email
Hey All, I know this will sound like a stupid question. But what the heck is the address for a new user to subscribe to my list? I've read through the documentation and it says to use the -join or -subscribe variable. Neither of these work. My mailing list is [EMAIL PROTECTED] I tried mailing to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] and neither of these add me to the list. Is there someplace in the admin section where I need to change some settings, or what's the deal? Thanks so much. Vince --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

[Mailman-Users] Subscribing Via Email - Brilliant.
Is there a way to subscribe via email? And then to get to confirmation link and sent to a page of my choice? I am also wondering if anyone know where and if you can edit that confirmation link and other obscure text that you can't seem to access through the system. I am using DreamHost and it only has access to certain functions. Thank you VERY much for anyone who can help!!!

[Mailman-Users] subscribing per email
This is probably such a basic question that it didn't make it into the documentation. If someone wants to subscribe per email to my list at [EMAIL PROTECTED] what do they write in the email? I tried subscribe in the subject line, but the admin settings though that the person wanted to submit a POST. Can you help?

[Mailman-Users] subscribing thru Email without requiringconfirmation.
Dear list members, I would like to keep the confirmation part when someone subscribe... However, is there a way where a special email can be send to the Mailman where confirmation of the user is not required? let me explain: I have a shopping cart program, and when a user completes his order, I want to issue an email to subscribe this user to the mailing list without having the mailing list sending the user an email to confirm. On the same hand, I do not want to disable the functionality of confirmation if a user tries to subscribe to the mailing list. I have worked in the past with a program, where emails with a [password] in the subject area, would be verified and if correct (pas for admin) then this email is treated as coming from the admin, and hence the user is registered without requiring confirmation email. Any ideas?
