[Mailman-Users] Subscriber names in bulk subscribe

Howdy! I moved our domain hosting to a new company, and among other things the new service uses Mailman instead of the home-grown mailing list the previous service used. So now I have to manually transfer my 40+ subscribers from the old server to Mailman. Hooray for bulk subscribe! I can just c

Re: [Mailman-Users] subscriber names

Con, Its not documented, but there is a way to add the name.. Just put the name in Parenthesis after the email address in the subscription window. I.e. [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Darrell Duane) Now, my question is, how can we get the real names to show up in the subscriber list that shows up from the

This should be in the FAQ, but basically any generally-accepted format should work. For example: "User 1" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> John Doe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Williams, Sam <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Just make sure there's only one per line. To quote a message from me, quoting a message from Barry, found

Re: [Mailman-Users] Subscriber names

I think that many folks would be interested in this kind of Add-on functionality. Certainly MM v2.1 will be able to collect and maintain user names, but what about other information that folks might want to collect? If you were to write a CGI/SQL solution for this (a general one that subscrib

Dare I ask what the time-frame for Mailman 2.1 is? And can I add the names to my existing list, or do people need to resubscribe? (I hope it's add because I'm just now populating a list with potentially 250 subscribers). Jason > On 28 November 2001, marina said: > > Now that we're certain t

Hi, Does anybody know whether there's a way for Mailman to ask (and remember) subscriber names, as well as their email addresses? We're moving over to Pairlist a list where this is particularly important (i.e. being able to keep track of the NAMES of the members), and I would appreciate suggesti

[Mailman-Users] Subscriber Names

Is there any way Mailman can store the user's name along with their email address? Is it perhaps possible to just add another field in the subscription part so that the administrator can get a better idea of who is subscribing? Bob -- Mailman
