[Mailman-Users] 2.1.2 Questions

[Customer & Technical Support]

	I am using 2.1.2 after coming from 2.0.13.  I like a lot the new options 
that were set 'features' in the older version.  However the programmers 
added a LOT more of the same old type of 'features' in the 2.1.2 version 
and have not allowed for optioning them out.  I'll try to describe as best 
I can what I want to do.
	Basically I want to run a list with none of the stock MM web pages.  One 
of the biggest things I don't like is that almost every page gives a link 
to places that users have no place being.  Case in point is the newly added 
confirmation page and the following admin approval page if your lest is set 
to confirm and approve.  Each of these pages lists the link to the admin 
control panel page.  That is a major security flaw IMHO.  Why even list 
that in the general population of your site.  I don't want all kinds of 
users and guests to my site to know the links to my admin pages.  Doesn't 
that make sense?  I THINK in 2.0.13 the confirm was a simply email that the 
pending new user replied to and they did not go to a series of web 
pages.  I may be wrong but I don't recall this at all.  Anyway it would be 
good to have it so all of these pages can be modified.
	The best case scene for me is to have a mailto link on one of my web site 
pages where potential subscribers can click to start the process of signing 
up for the list.  I know how to do that and I know the syntax to use.  The 
list would be confirm and approve.  The user would get an email with a 
simple line that say something about replying to confirm and possibly an 
address to report if he thinks he is being subscribed in bad faith.  No 
long list of MM links to my site since I do not want to use them.  Once the 
new user responds they will get an email (again with no list of links) that 
tells him his subscription is pending approval.  The admin gets notified 
and goes to approve.  No web interface at all and no mention of it.  Can 
someone help me with this.  Any patches of edits to the code to make this 
happen would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks,
