simple option to unsubscribe from list via email or single click
Hi,
I am looking for the simplest method of users unsubscribing from my Mailman list, either by replying to the list with 'unsubscribe' in the subject or the body, or a one click link in the footer that opens an email that can be sent to unsubscribe or which redirects a user to a webpage confirming they have unsubscribed.
Would someone be able to help me set this up?
Thanks,
Nick

Just add into the footer : mailto:ListName-request@listdomain.com?subject=unsubscribe
That may or may not provide a 'clickable' link depending on the recipient's MUA. Even so, a simpler and more general footer would be
Unsubscribe: <mailto:%(list_name)s-unsubscribe@%(host_name)s>
Also consider
Unsubscribe: <%(web_page_url)s/options/%(list_name)s>
or if the list is personalized
Unsubscribe: <%(user_optionsurl)s>
If the list is personalized and you are willing to include cleartext user passwords in the footer, see <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2005-May/044961.html>, but also see <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2009-May/065944.html> for other information including why you shouldn't put user passwords in the footer.
