First: immense thanks to everyone on the Mailman team -- it's been
an invaluable tool for many small organizations that I support.
On the other hand, I'm one of those who does not have access to the
command line utilities (Mailman installed on shared hosting via
control panel). While I know it's possible to automate the web
interface in a variety of ways (thanks, for example, for the
mailman-subscribers.py script!) that just seems awkward to me -- and
automating this particular issue (with an unsubscribe/subscribe) has
side effects as noted in this thread from 2004:
