passwordless unsubscribes?

Hi all!
I've been searching the list archives for a way to disable passwords when users unsubscribe.  I run a
firewalled list. Only list admins have access to the html interface.
Is it possible to disable passwords? 

Any suggestions?

Regards

Mailing List Size Limits?

Hey, does anybody know if Mailman has the ability
to restrict the number of people subscribed to a
mailing list?

If not, I have to implement it...fast...;-P

Delay

Hi,

I have a Linux Machine Redhat 6.1 

I installed  Mailman 1.0 and it was running perfect.

But now when I send a msg to a list, I can see my msg in the list
archive but it does not deliver msg to the users.

And this occurs sometimes, and I am sure that msg will be delivered a
time later, 

BUT WHY ?

And this problem occurs in non regular time. It does not any sense.

If you have any experience like that plese explain the solution.

Thanks,

Tarantor

mailman on digital Unix 4.0B or Sun solaris

Hi everyone!

Is there anyone using Mailman on Unix operating system mentioned above?
how much is the system resource need of mailman? (of course depending on
the list, and users)
Can anyone compare it to listproc?

thanks a lot

non-subscribed ex members receiving password reminders

why does this happen?  how can I make it stop?

J.

I have a number of people who have unsubscribed from our list (at least I
can't find them in any of the membership screens) but continue to receive
password reminder emails...

I really need to stop this.  If anyone knows how, please contact me!

Thanks,

J.

        I had this problem when my MTA was misconfigured so that it
wouldn't relay mail from localhost.  Try allowing mail relays from
localhost.

According to daemon:

I run both and am happy to dump listproc in exchange for Mailman rsn.

Simply enough, it's a bug.  If i recall correctly, it's been addressed in
more recent versions of mailman - the new version may even have a
procedure to wipe the orphaned password entries, or at least disregard
them if there's no corresponding account.

However, if like me you haven't had the time to upgrade*, below is a
script i just cobbled together to clean the passwords on my site.  Read
the module docstring at the top for details, including instructions for
use.

(* Sigh - i haven't even gotten near hacking mailman code in a while - i'm
thankful that barry and others have been taking care of crucial stuff!)

8<---------------------------- cleanpasswds --------------------------->8

#!/usr/bin/env python

"""Identify and offer to delete orphaned passwords in any mailman lists.

I believe that more recent mailman versions rectify this problem, this is a 
quick and dirty hack to tide you over until you have time to upgrade.

To use this, put it in your ~mailman/bin dir as, eg, 'cleanpasswds', then
run as the mailman user with 'python bin/cleanpasswds'.  It will show any
orphaned passwords it finds for each list, and offer to remove them.

It's important to run as mailman, so list files maintain the right uid.
