[Mailman-Users] password and confirmation email questions

[John DeCarlo]

Jeff,

I can't answer 1, except to say that people can unsubscribe even if they 
have forgotten their password, it just takes more confirmation steps.

As for 2, look in ~mailman/templates/en (for English, anyway).  In 
particular, look at subscribeack.txt.  I would look through all of them 
to see what else you want to change, like unsubscribe files.

Note:  If you install an update, like 2.1.1 over 2.1, it will overwrite 
your changes, so save them (I have subscribeack.txt.orig and 
subscribeack.txt.Mine) and check after the upgrade to copy them back over.

Note:  Some things that you change this way require restarting Mailman. 
  I use /etc/init.d/mailman restart.
