[Mailman-Users] Blacklisting Users in Newsletter

[John DeCarlo]

John,

1.  Users set to "nomail" are members of the list but receive no 
messages.  Usually used to allow members to post to members-only lists. 
  But would work for your purposes as well.  The scripts to add users 
will not add users who are already members.

2.  If you want the "unsubscribe" command to set a user to "nomail", you 
will need to modify the Python scripts.  The basic unsubscribe via email 
script is in <mailman_dir>/Mailman/Commands/cmd_unsubscribe.py

I looked in there, and towards the end is the mlist.ApprovedDeleteMember 
function.  I think it would be sufficient to replace it with the right 
function to change the user to "nomail".
