I'm hosting several related list using MM 2.15 on Freebsd. I would like to enable members to subscribe to several list with only one confirmation.

    Unless you're manipulating things behind-the-scenes, I don't

think there's a way to do this with the current version of Mailman.

    Once you are subscribed with a given address, there is a way to

do certain things to all lists for which that address is subscribed (e.g., change your address on all affected lists, set yourself to be NOMAIL, etc...), but this only works once you're subscribed.

I realize this would take some work but I think it might be doable using code from MM. Here is my idea, please let me know what you think,

Create:

1. pop email account to recieve mulit-sub confirmations and bounces.
2. python script to generate and send the confirmation email
3. python script to check the multi-sub email account and process the confirmations.

The python scirpts would import as much relevant code from MM. I'm not familiar with the confirmation process but I'm guessing when a confirmation is sent it is recored someplace?
