Are you trying to say that when you subscribe a user with email, the Mailman software still sends a request to the administrator to approve the subscription?

v2.0beta2 three patches
by Bernhard Reiter April 21, 2000

April 21, 2000

Just to keep you informed I started testing mailman-2.0beta2 here. The three changes I made are attached. The first ist cosmetic: It removes the python and gnu logo from the mailman webpages. Putting logos down there is inflational I guess that one pointer to the product is enough in this case. If people click through when they are interested it, they still can get all the information. The second fixes a bug in cron/checkdbs already fixed in the CVS version. The third fixes a bug for … [View More]

That was fun... I know a whole lot more about gdb and Phython than I did a day or two ago.... Your milage may vary, but on our RH6.2 system we had to: # Delivery module for the message pipeline.

This would be easy to do, when there was an admin-mail-interface. But I recieve following message when creating a new list: "There is also an email-based interface for users (not administrators) of your list; you can get info about using it by … [View More]
