[Mailman-Users] Question about an Autoresponse to pending subscription

[Jon Carnes]

A lot of folks have done this with Mailman.  I'm not aware of any of
them posting their code/hacks to the list.

I believe what they do is setup their own html sign-up page and then
have it post to a small cgi that checks the incoming data.  If it is
complete - or looks complete then they subscribe the user to Mailman. 
They could either subscribe them by using a subscribe mail message, or
they could use a command line call to the ~mailman/bin/add_members
command.

Good Luck - Jon Carnes
