<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>dear list:</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>i'm currently evaluating Mailman to
support large announce style lists. looks nice. unfortunately,
the unsub process seems to REQUIRE a users password which in my opinion is
limiting.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>i've scoured through the mailing list and found
others with a similar problem. the only workaround i thought i could come
up with was a post by Dan Mick...</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>"</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>You can look up the
password from the Python database with a small<BR>modification to bin/withlist;

I can."</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>please do! i might be able to write something

administrative requests? (Details)"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have this set to yes, however if i email my <A
href="mailto:list@checkout.com">list@checkout.com</A> with unsubscribe in the
body it fails to return any sort of unsub information. is this because i
still need to supply a users password, which they DO NOT KNOW, for this feature
to work?</FONT></DIV>
