For Mailman 2.1.x at least, there is no provision for storing/retrieving additional information beyond the user's email address and 'real name'. You could make your own subscribe form (see <http://wiki.list.org/x/hIA9>) and collect the information there. You could either store this information outside of Mailman, or perhaps you could use something like the MySQL MamberAdaptor <https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/558093> to store membership info in a MySQL database and update that directly with your own subscription process. Mailman 3 makes some of this easier as it stores member information in a real database, but it isn't quite yet ready for prime time. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
