Hello, I'm using mailman1.1 (linux - debian) and have
multiple mailman lists setup. I have one particular
list which needs to have the subscription confirmation
message customized.
Background: the name of the particular list is not
descriptive of the company and neither is the
domainname, so when a user gets a confirmation request
to subscribe, they may not remember they had signed up
for that list.
I looked around at my files and i see a verify.txt
file in /etc/mailman. That appears to be the file
mailman uses to compose its email confirmation
request.
The file looks like:
We have received a request%(remote)s for subscription
of your email address, <%(email)s>, to the
%(listaddr)s mailing list. To confirm ...
I guess I could edit the verify.txt and customize it,
but I believe that would affect my other existing
lists.
Is there a way to customize it so that it only affects
that particular list and not the others? Or, is there
some setting where you can tell a particular list to
use a different set of config files besides
/etc/mailman?
And, on another note, does any one know how to "clone"
a list (not a user). I'm setting up a bunch of lists
that all need the same preferences (archive off,
moderated, etc.). The only difference is that the
name of the lists will be dfferent. Is there a way to
setup the lists so I don't have to go through all of
the admin html pages for each list?
TIA,
Chris
