To anyone who can offer advice, I admin a couple lists, and I have just come to realize that my ISP requires me to keep perfect history of every subscriber: date they signed up and originating ip address, all available with 1 day of any complaint. It is very important to me to conform to these requirements.
It seems that a user subscribing via mailman's webform thing gets all this info logged in $MAILMANROOT/logs/subscribe. However the vast majority of my subscribers subscribe via a custom webform (integrated with a catalog request page). This custom webform just sends an email to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the necessary arguments. I looked in the subscribe log and it shows the users email address in place of the ip address. Ideally I need it to show the appropriate ip address. You can start to see some complications here, as if it were to simply use the ip address of the originating mail, it would get my webserver (it originates the mail on behalf of the user). So, ideally, I'd like to pass the originating ip address as an argument in the subscription request email, or have it log the ip address of the confirmation reply. I guess that in most cases I could line up logs and I might be able to figure it out (the clocks are always perfectly synced on these servers though). Does anybody else deal with this kind of issue? How do y'all handle this? Any advice of where to find docs on this? PS- Running mailman-2.0.13. I google'd, searched archives of this list, read the FAQ, and looked through the mailman docs. I couldn't find any document dealing with this type of issue. Thanks!
