Administrators subscribing via email...

Good Morning, Okay. I've done a number of searches and I've done a lot of different attempts, and I can't figure this out for the life of me. How can a list administrator use the email interface to subscribe and/or unsubscribe users without a confirmation going out to the user? They can do this via the webpage, but I can't figure out how to do it via the email interface. I found an odd page in German which refered to something in mailman (new or old I don't know) that would … [View More]

Admin pages horribly slow...
by Graham TerMarsch May 1, 2001

Well, sorta managed to solve the problem that I was having with the stale lockfiles. General consensus on responses seemed to be "erase the stale lockfiles", rather than helping provide any information on how to prevent them in the first place. SO, I ended up setting up a script to watch for stale locks and remove them as soon as it finds any. HOWEVER, I'm now running into another situation that I'm looking for suggestions on. With Mailman-2.0.1 and a 65k subscriber list, _all_ of the … [View More]
