[Mailman-Users] Blocking Unsubscribe?

[Nathan Beittenmiller]

About five minutes after I sent this, I came up with a solution that
somewhat works.  If I add users at the command line nightly (which is
how I build the lists with Majordomo), they need a password to
unsubscribe or change their settings.  For most users, that would be a
deterrent right there.  Unfortunately, the determined ones can still
request the password be mailed to them (and then they receive what I'm
hoping is a random password).  Using that, they can unsubscribe, but
this is more work than filtering the mail, as you suggested that many do
anyway.  So it's not optimal, but it is acceptable.  Thanks.

I think that the closest you can come is to have the server notify
you when someone unsubscribes.  At that point a letter can be sent
saying it is required that they be subscribed.  I would think though
that if someone were asking to be unsubscribed, and they were told
they were required to be subscribed, they probably aren't reading
the mail anyway.  I know that I wouldn't.  I'd find some way to
filter it out.
