Mailman can be configured / installed with two features that I would like to have:
1. In the "Mass Subscriptions" section of "Membership Management" Mailman can be configured to have a third option for the list: "Subscribe these users now or invite them? __Subscribe or __Invite" as well as the two options Sonic.net lists: "Send welcome messages to new subscribees?" and "Send notifications of new subscriptions to the list owner?"
The "subscribe" option does not require the user to reply to a membership confirmation email in order to finalize his/her membership in the list. This option is especially helpful for lists that are set up for the members of an organization, and several/many members join/leave the organization at once. It is also helpful when transitioning a list to a new list manager/ISP, as I am now doing. The members of my organization are mostly older, and are not sophisticated users of technology; they find the options for doing their own membership management, as listed in the emails, to be confusing. The members are experienced at using email in a "vanilla" way.
I would like to have access to this feature, perhaps in a way that is restricted to more sophisticated Mailman users (I am presuming something about myself), and protected by password access.
2. Mailman can be set up so that the emails appear to my list members as coming from "[List-Name]@<my-domain-name.org> and when a message is sent to the list, it is sent to the same address.
In the "Membership Management" section, on the "General Options" page there is a field labeled:
"Host name this list prefers for email. [lists.sonic.net]" Can I enter "[<my-domain-name.org>]" and have this feature work?
Thanks for all that you provide!
