new feature request (was: Re: setting a list for no daily reminders?)
Thanks to everyone who responded. Please forgive this crosspost to the developers group. Seeing that there is no way to do this without changing the code, and that many Mailman users are not Python programmers or do not have the permission to make such changes on the server they are using, I think it would be best if this was made an option that could be set through the web interface for each list. That way administrators could choose immediate notifications, daily summaries, or both.
THANX!! :)

I am running a list set to immediately send administrative requests (admin_immed_notify set to yes), but I am getting daily notices as well. I don't want to receive daily notices. The immediate notices are sufficient. Nor do I see the logic in filling my inbox with daily notices when I'm not around or haven't had a chance to process the immediate notices that are already sitting there.
Is there any way to change this??
You could delete the checkdbs entry from crontab, but this would affect all lists and also would have the side effect of never clearing stale entries from hold_and_cmd_autoresponses[] (I don't think this is serious because I don't think there is ever more than one entry per user - stale entries get "reused").
The only other way and the only way to do it per list is to change the code in checkdbs.
