Confirmation logging

Greetings, I'd like to setup a project announcement mailing list on my DreamHost server using Mailman, however DreamHost has informed me that Mailman is allegedly not compliant with their Anti-Spam policy. <https://dreamhost.com/anti-spam-policy/> Apparently Mailman doesn't handle opt-in confirmations in a way that is compliant with it. Specifically, it doesn't log new subscriptions or the IP addresses of the confirmation. Is this correct? -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

We have a Sympa list in Poland that migrated from LISTSERV to Sympa few years ago but neither of those settings are available on Sympa. It seems that those low level accounting functions should not be imposed on moderators and now a part of the list membership is considering moving the list to mailman if these features could be supported or to LISTSERV free version if not. Could they be implemented on mailman (or postfix, exim, sendmail)? is it possible to use mailmain with LSMTP on Gnu/Linux? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Ed Apologies if this should have gone to a developers forum.

How to create a topic?

Hello I have created a mailing list named IranRAVI(a)IranRAVI.com, but I have a problem. I believe a few members of the mailing list don't really like to receive all the emails of the list. They don't like to take part in discussions. but they only like to receive the newsletters. Now I want to create a Topic or a sub-mailing list. For example: IranRAVI-Newsletter(a)IranRAVI.com This way, when I send an email to IranRAVI-Newsletter(a)IranRAVI.com, the subscribers of this list will only receive the newsletter, but can't reply to group. They can only reply to the sender. At the same time, the subscribers of IranRAVI(a)IranRAVI.com will also receive this email. The subscribers of IranRAVI(a)IranRAVI.com should be able to take part in the discussions by replying to the group. I know the users can change the reply-address manually, but that is not what I am looking for. Maybe this matter refers to Umbrella list, but I really couldn't make heads or tails of umbrella lists. Please explain to me clearly what I should do. Thanks in advance.
