Hi,

Is there any way in Mailman to allow the users to set options (usually nomail style options) without the password argument? The system would then send out a confirmation email which the user could reply or click a link in the email to confirm.

This would require significant source modifications.

We have a lot of users who subscribe by sending to list-subscribe@domain.com and replying to the confirmation mail, they don't go near the web interface :)

But they should get a welcome message with their password when they subscribe, and they should get monthly password reminders, or if they don't, they can request a reminder via the email 'password' command.

You could edit the list's welcome message to further emphasize that they need their password to set options such as no mail and perhaps to explain how to change their password.
