Howard, Yes, this helps me greatly and in fact we want to be able to subscribe people from a custom website form so it's a good solution.
Thanks, Simon Please send all support requests to the Internet Services Helpdesk [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Howard Lush [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 03 July 2003 01:25 To: Simon Harrison Subject: [Mailman-Users] Subscribing people by email Hi Simon I'm trying to do a very similar thing to you, and while playing around with the Mailman interface I found that you can subscribe someone using the following link: http://<www.mydomain.com>/mailman/admin/<admin_email.com>/members?subscri bees=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>&send_welcome_msg_to_this_batch=0&adminpw=<passwor d> This is based on mass subscribe form on the membership management page - note that the no cookies are required as the admin password is supplied in the URL. Potentially this could be called from a Perl script using something like LWP::Simple get() and so you can create your own subscription form. I know it's a bit of a long way round, but it does avoid any approve or confirm requirements, which I am going to implement separately from Mailman. Does this help?
