{SPAMFILTER} Unsubscribe problems
I seem to have a lot of people who have email programs that mailman doesn't like at least when it comes to unsubscribing--mine included! Many can subscribe via email without a problem but there doesn't seem to be an easy way to unsubscribe because the e-mail method always generates problems. I've been manually unsubscribing people but it is time-consuming and folks get irritated because mailman won't handle it. Is there some magic formula I'm missing? Currently using listname-request@domain.com?subject=unsubscribe format.
Thanks, Deanna

unfortunately his persmissions are WRONG! don't set your unsubscribe script perms 755 instead use 750 (not world readable), and then chgrp it to group 'list' or whatever group you run mailman as.
I use this for my email list and I set the reply-to to be the remove addy. It's an announcement list, so all replies go to the proper place to unsubscribe.
