To stop unsubscribers --
How about this script from another member of this list, if you use his script, which adds a password on the subscribe and then _don't_ allow users access to config, you have an unsubscribe-able list. Sounds like a 'bad thing' to me, but... schlad3, do you think we could have a snippet from your subscribe/unsubscribe script? You don't embed the password in the page, do you?
Sounds like these scripts would be a nice thing for me for another reason, my list members are already in password protected area, I hate to create a second set of passwords.

Its transparent, the user never knows the difference.

Hi all,
Quick question: I've looked through most of the options available to a list admin, and I can't find one to disable the monthly password reminders. I know this sounds like a bad idea, but we have a secretary who maintains quite a few mailing lists for out department, and we'd like to switch her over to mailman. However, we probably don't want students to be able to unsubscribe themselves from certain of our announcement-type mailing lists. Any ideas? Am I missing something simple?
Thanks much,
