Re: [Mailman-Users] remove_members by other users
Hello Jon and thank you for your answer :-) The program is open-source, so yes, you can make it do whatever you like. Great. There is a binary called remove_members in ~mailman/bin/... it can remove anyone from any list. Of course you need telnet or ssh access to the server to use it. If you need to make this possible via the web, then you will need to do some writing (or selective deleting). Yes I know, but if the distribution list is ownered by a little secretary of my office I doubt that she knows Un*x... You could always make available to the public the Admin membership management page. Though I would disable the add function in this case (for the publicly available page). Will this function be it in the new version of Mailman perhaps? Doing that would be fairly easy, I would estimate an experienced admin/hacker could do it in about 6 hours. Yes well on perhaps for you! That under hears that we must know the language Python, and it is not a small matter. In all the case, if somebody has already a solution, he is welcome in this forum. Have a nice day for all.
