Re: [Mailman-Users] newlist or other cgi solution?
When it comes down to it, all that needs doing to have a cgi newlist (and a rmlist?) is for someone to code it - there isn't a lot of deep magic needed.
A bigger problem is the authentication etc for it - currently you need mailman uid on the server to make a list. I guess the equivalent is knowing the main mailman password - but this all ties in with other questions about a user database with real rights etc.
Finally, you need a way to tell the MTA about the list. With exim *nothing* else is needed since it all happens by magic (assuming people are using the exim mailman config). With sendmail you need to edit an aliases file and rebuild it, which might need more privilege that I would be willing to give a CGI. Has anyone come up with a magic recipe for sendmail? [I know postfix can be done, think qmail hasn't as yet]
