[Mailman-Users] Subscribe/Un-Subscribe via e-mail, not web

[Paul Croft]

Unless the list is set to confirm ... then they will only get subscribed if 
they mail back the confirmation.  My lists are set up to subscribe via the 
web using multiple checkboxes and PHP...it has worked excellent since it 
was installed in March 2002....I did attempt the unsubscribe in the same 
way but it didn't function properly and it has since been removed.  My site 
is at:
