Hello,
Is it possible to accept and reject mails and memberships by email? The only way I can find is to go to the list web site. But I am thinking about something like the confirmation mail one gets when trying to subscribe to a list. I haven seen this feature at yahoogroups.com, and I find it a very useful and fast way to care about a list.

If you set admin_immed_notify to Yes on the list's General Options page, the admins/moderators receive individual notifications of held posts. These notices contain an attached message with a subject like
Subject: confirm d3d1ca983ecb49cccefe92ed238bfc97bc862f70
and sender and from like
Sender: listname-request@example.com From: listname-request@example.com
If you reply to that address with that subject the request will either be approved or denied depending on the presence or absence of an
Approved: <list_password>
line in either the headers or the first line of the body of the reply, just as it says in the body of that message. Note that the password can be either the list admin password or the list moderator password.
With many MUAs, you can just open the attached message and reply to deny the request or add the Approved: line to the beginning of the body and reply to accept it.
This is only for held messages. Subscription requests have to be handled via the web.
