[Mailman-Users] Central address for handling requests?

[Jon Carnes]

Not a problem... Use procmail.  Setup your "listrequest" email address to 
parce the incoming mail based on the subject, and forward the request to each 
of the various "mylist-request" aliases.  Have the default fall through rule 
be an auto-response with a general help message about the use of your 
"listrequest" alias.

This setup allows list-request to still work for any list *and* allows you to 
send commands to one central address for any list requests.  Of course this 
is not an automated thing.  You'll have to set it up and maintain it.

If you are running on a Unix-type server, you probably already have procmail 
installed and running.

Good Luck - Jon Carnes
