[Mailman-Users] RE: Disabling Passwords

[Sullivan, John]

Are the Moderator Flags only available in 2.1 I don't see them available in
2.0 - 

Also has anyone tried the mailman wrapper to remove the password feature
located at: http://satya.virtualave.net/download.html#mailmanw

Thanks

I'm not sure how he set it up, but you could just set up a  
'subscription form' or whatever that your users fill in that hooks into  
a cgi script that just sends off an email to the appropriate mailman  
subscribe address.  If you subscribe an address via email with mailman,  
it will just make up a random password for the user.  If your users  
don't need to use it ever, they'll never know the difference.
