Jim, this is cool to know, thanks. So is there a corresponding option for unsubscribe confirmations? I tried it with
m.unsubscribe_policy = 0
and withlist didn't complain, but unsub confirmations are still sent out
:( . I also tried setting ALLOW_OPEN_UNSUBSCRIBE in mm_cfg.py, but no
luck. I find it strange that Mailman is so insistent on confirmations
(CommuniGate has a simple checkbox for confirmations on or off), but
if I can find a workaround, my user will be very pleased.
P.S. I have been able to use the normal subscribe/confirm scheme
from my phone, so it is probably a function of your carrier or your
phone. One quirk I've noticed in my lists is that if I use
VERP_CONFIRMATIONS=Yes, the reply address gets truncated in the reply
message, and I have to manually add the last few characters of the
domain name. In my case that is presumably a phone bug, since it is
picking up fewer reply address characters than it allows me to enter
and successfully send.
We're not using VERP, but thanks for that.
