[Mailman-Users] Email Command Confirmations

[deepali]

Dear List,

I recently went to the archives to see if there was a way to turn off  
the email command confirmations, and I came across the email thread  
below.

I looked at the patch, was able to change the code, but I am still  
getting email command confirmations.  I am guessing that it is  
because I am not doing something right, since I am new to using  
Mailman and know very little about Python.  So, I have a few questions.

1 - Does this patch work on Mailman 2.1.5?  (This is the version that  
comes with Mac OS Tiger Server.)  If not, does anyone have  
instructions on how to upgrade on OS X Server?  Does 2.1.9 still need  
this patch?

2 - In the patch, it says to set RESPOND_TO_SUCCESSFUL_CONFIRM =  
Yes.  But in the code, it looks for (not  
mm_cfg.RESPOND_TO_SUCCESSFUL_CONFIRM).  If I don't want the  
confirmations, shouldn't I set RESPOND_TO_SUCCESSFUL_CONFIRM = No?

3 - Do I have to compile the code after I change it?  Do I have to  
recreate the list to make the changes work?

My client is waiting on this fix before they go live with a new web  
application, so any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
Deepali

BTW, the command results should not be sent if a welcome will be sent
(send_welcome_msg on General Options is Yes) even without the patch.
