This makes me rather badly needed to implement the previous step, because the automatic unsubscribe can not just like "http://url/unsubscribe/id_member, because any robot could eliminate the entire database simply doing for member = 1 to all_members => curl http://url/unsubscribe/member. So I need the url of the unsubscribe link is like http://url/unsubscribe?id = (md5 of the combination of various parameters of that particular subscriber).


If you would be satisfied with a footer with a personalized unsubscribe
link on only individual messages and not on digests (because Mailman
doesn't personalize digests), you can do all except the hash with
standard Mailman. See the FAQs at <http://wiki.list.org/x/UYA9> and
<http://wiki.list.org/x/84A9> for more information and caveats.

In order to add the hash, you would need to hack the
Mailman/Handlers/Decorate.py module to calculate the hash and add an
additional replacement for it to the "extra personalization dictionary".
