unsubscribing without password?
by JustinHoMi＠aol.com Aug. 3, 2002

Aug. 3, 2002

Hi. I've recently installed mailman, and would like to use it so that our organization can send announcements to the subscriber list. All of the users are added by us... it will be rare that anyone subscribes themself. But users will be unsubscribing thereselves. So, when someone wants to unsubscribe, it makes it a hassle for them to go and find their password since they didn't create it in the first place. Is there any simple way for a user to unsubscribe without their password? I noticed that … [View More]

Digest Header modification ?
by Tom Aug. 2, 2002

Aug. 2, 2002

Greetings, everyone, I looked into FAQ, documentation, and archives, but couldn't find an answer to this: Each digest sent out contains a default "header"/boiler plate/text where it explains how to unsubscribe, etc. One of the mailing lists on my servers generates its subscriber list from a database, so this information is misleading. But how can I remove it or replace it with some other text? -- PGP/GPG key: http://web.lemuria.org/pubkey.html pub 1024D/2D7A04F5 2002-05-16 Tom Vogt <… [View More]

Public lists and archiving questions
by David Mir Aug. 2, 2002

Aug. 2, 2002

I have a couple questions that I can't find in the documentation. 1) how do I make s list "public"(ie shows up in listinfo page) is there an option or do I have to manually edit the HTML page? 2)how do archives work? are they just monthly? can you change this? I don't see any configuration for archives just whether they are public or not. If these answer can be found on the web please tell me and will look there. Thanks -- David Mir System Administrator Soar Technology, Inc.

I'm a new administrator for a listhost that you host, and I cannot figure out how to set the e-mail addressed for the members of the listhost. I'm in the Membership Management area, but on the Membership list it says "0 members total" and I can't figure out how to add people. Please help! Thanks!
