Folks,
I have recently set up Mailman version 2.1.13. Everything works as
expected except for the email form I use on my website to unsubscribe
folks.
It takes and email address submission and composes an email to
listname-request at listserv.mydomain.org with body of:
unsubscribe address=submitted at email.adr
end
apache gets an email response from mailman as follows:
...
The results of your email command are provided below. Attached is your
original message.
- Results:
Usage:
unsubscribe [password] [address=<address>]
Unsubscribe from the mailing list. If given, your password must
match
your current password. If omitted, a confirmation email will be
sent
to the unsubscribing address. If you wish to unsubscribe an
address
other than the address you sent this request from, you may
specify
`address=<address>' (no brackets around the email address, and
no
quotes!)
- Unprocessed:
unsubscribe address=example at yahoo.com
end
- Done.
I have a similar form for subscribe requests that works as expected. my
webserver sends the requests as apache at mydomain.org. It is not an
admin, moderator, or list member of the list I am trying to modify.
Is there something wrong with apache at mydomain.org sending the
unsubscribe request? As I understand it, if the request is sent w/o
password, the user must confirm the request -- which is exactly what I
want.
Regards,
