Hello again,
It looks as if my migration to mailman has been stopped dead in it's tracks :( I have a user that can not stand the web based approval of email, prefering majordomos mail based approval system. I don't see mention of this type of feature anywhere in the docs.
So is this type of feature planned?
Thanks, James

I'm not sure if this is possible or not. Can you only allow certain users to post to the list? I dont want the entire list to be able to post. Can this be done?

I think what you are looking for is under the privacy options. You could set the
Must posts be approved by an administrator? Yes Restrict posting privilege to list members? (member_posting_only) Yes
Then fill in the
Addresses of members accepted for posting to this list without implicit approval
portion with people you want to post to the list w/o approval.
The down side being that you'd have to go in once and a while and discard any posts that build up in the system.

Thanks for the help. Any Idea how to automate the deletions? Is there a mail queue that can be purged nightly?

If you are not averse to a Perl-based thing, try http://satya.virtualave.net/download.html#mailmanw
That is if I understand your problem correctly. Mailman does email-based confirmation for subscription, and requires a password for unsubscribing.

Thanks for the info. However it doesn't quite appear to do what I require.

What I am after is email based posting moderation. With majordomo incomming mail messages to a moderated list are bounced to the list admin. The admin recieves a full copy of the mail and can simply forward the message back to the list with an included approval password. Majordomo looks for this password and if correct it removes the password header from the list and passes the message on to the list.
With mailman the user is forced to open a web browser to approve the message. It is also does not include the message awaiting approval when it notifies the list administrator. Again this forces the admin to go to the web to read the message to discover if it is urgent in nature.
Take Care, James

The email-based unsubscription via confirmation (and without passwords) wrapper thingy is updated. Now with more bugfixes and more bugs!
Mailman core developers, please tell me if this is still required. Will mailman ever have an optional confirmation-based method instead of password-based, as it does now?
