Overriding the subscribeack.txt file for my read-only lists...
I want to have another set of .txt (template) files for a set of lists which are to be read-only (broadcast) lists. I don't want the subscription acknowledgment message mentioning anything about where or how to post to the list.
The default acknowledgment file is subscribeack.txt. This file is fine for most purposes but I need to override it for this set of read-only lists.
How do I do this?
I've snooped around in the Deliverer.py file and mm_cfg.py file. It seems the .txt files are not overridable, is this true?
Thank you in advance, Jose

You could hack the code on this one fairly easily, creating a file with lists that get a different subscribeack.txt. - or you could simply have a second install of Mailman for these lists...

I hacked the Deliverer.py file, putting the following in the Deliverer class declaration:
# get the text from the template
if os.path.exists('/Users/mailman/MailSystem/lists/' + string.lower(self.real_name) + '/readonly'): template_file = 'subscribeack-readonly.txt' else: template_file = 'subscribeack.txt' text = Utils.maketext( template_file, {'real_name' : self.real_name, 'host_name' : self.host_name, 'welcome' : welcome, 'umbrella' : umbrella, 'emailaddr' : self.GetListEmail(), 'listinfo_url': self.GetScriptURL('listinfo', absolute=1), 'optionsurl' : self.GetOptionsURL(name, absolute=1), 'password' : password, })
The 'readonly' file is just an empty stub file. I'm not sure if this is what you had in mind but it works for me.
Thanks, Jose
