[Mailman-Users] default action on administrative requests?

[Ralf Hildebrandt]

The  default action on administrative requests is "defer". I'd like to
set that to "accept" for a particular list. Is this possible?

There is currently no setting or config option for that.

An implementation of a list setting for the default would be
non-trivial. A hack to do it based on listname would be simpler.

If this is for a python.org list, let's discuss this off list.

[Mailman-Users] Send confirmation emails to user that sign up for my site

[kayla . manchette]

I have a site where users are able to sign up. When they sign up to the 
site, their information is stored in a database on the server.


What I want to do is send users that sign up an email for them to 
confirm the account they just made. The email would include a code and a 
link for the account verification page.


Is there anyway that I can link the database from my server to mailman 
so that mailman can send these emails out?

I'm guessing you want something analogous to Mailman's subscription
confirmation process and that's why you're thinking of Mailman, but it
would be simpler and more straightforward to just send the email outside
of Mailman. Mailman is designed to send messages to the members of
lists, not to arbitrary individuals.

Mailman uses Python's smtplib to send mail
( for Python3,
 for Python2.7).

While it would be possible to use Mailman's Message class to create and
send a message, it would be simpler to just create a plain text email
from a template and use smtplib to send it.

The one way I can think to do it, and it is a bit of a Rube-Goldberg, is 
to create a dummy mailing list, and then when the user signs up to your 
site, you create a subscription for them on the mailing list, with 
confirmation required. When they do confirm, mailman can send out an 
email that you can catch to see that they confirmed, or you can just 
interrogate the list to see if they are on the subscriber list (they 
won't be until they subscribe).


This does create a lot of complexity, and possibly confusion if there 
isn't a need for a linked mailing list, it is likely simpler to just 
look at the code mailman uses and borrow the appropriate parts, this 
isn't THAT hard of a function.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Send confirmation emails to user that sign up for my site

[Richard Shetron]

If the web backend can generate the code and email for the message and 
you are on a *nix system then all you have to do is:


cat  | sendmail -r  -s "" 

message can usually contain additional headers depending on the command 
line options.  message can be a canned message if you put the code in 
the subject.  You may need to make this a shell script or use some type 
of shell wrapper.


see man sendmail (even if you are not using sendmail, there is often a 
stub with other mailers to allow sending email with the sendmail command 
line interface for compatibility.
