How To Unsubscribe From This List

Wed Nov 12 21:02:59 AKST 2003

Hi Nik-- any easy way to change list server software? I am using "mailman"
listserver software on a couple of RC lists I manage and it sure is easier
for everyone to manage. I previously used majordomo and mailman is easier on
everyone. It uses web pages for user subscribing and unsubscribing, plus
administrator interface. You can also do the send-an-email-command thing,
but nobody does.

Its unix/linux based. Don't know if they have a Windows version. A freebee/
Gnu open source license.

Sadly, the mailing list software is not too clever in that area.  In other
words, I cannot block HTML.  FAQ may well be the best bet, either that or
have a script that just prompts for an email address.  But why would anyone
want to leave anyway ;~}

The unsubscribe instructions are at the bottom of every TEXT email but
not email sent in HTML. Perhaps HTML should be blocked.

Nice work on the unsubscribe instructions, Steve.

It oughta be a FAQ on the web site.

Then all we have to do is give the URL to the
FAQ.
