Need Mailman Advice

[Munnin]

Can some one point me to a good resource for Mailman? I am trying to figure out how to configure it the way I need it and am having a few problems. Or you can share your brilliance with me here.

1) I want people to be able to subscribe by simply sending an e-mail but the majordomo commands seem to get treated as submissions.

2) Is there anyway to not require a password for subscription?

I haven't really used Mailman (only poked around it a little bit), but here are a couple of suggestions:

 

To send subscription requests (or any other requests) via email, send them to yourlist-request@domain.com. Put the "subscribe" command in the message body, and I think that should do it.

 

To not require a password, I think you can just set the "steps required for subscription" option (found under privacy options) to "confirm." New subscribers will need to respond to the confirmation email, but I don't think they'll need any password.

 

In case you haven't come across it yet, list.org has lots of documentation that may be helpful. I hope this is useful -- best of luck!

There was another thread while ago on the subscribe-email-address issue.

so say I had a list called FANS

and my domain was TCHrocks.com

 

it would be

 

FANS-subscribe@TCHRocks.com

 

that may have been simple to some but it stuck me
