[Mailman-Users] How to set up notifications for Membership Management?

Defaults to the list setting General Otions -> Notifications ->
send_welcome_msg


Defaults to the list setting General Otions -> Notifications ->
admin_notify_mchanges


Defaults to No


Defaults to the list setting General Otions -> Notifications ->
admin_notify_mchanges


It is only possible by modifying the code in the mass_subscribe() and
mass_remove() definitions in Mailman/Cgi/admin.py. Without
modification, the user notification for Mass Removal always defaults
to No and the owner notifications for Mass Subscription and Mass
Removal default to the same setting.

If you're just looking for a personal fix, it would be fairly easy to
make a bookmarklet or greasemonkey script which set these defaults in
your browser.

Hi Mark.
So wouldn't it be a good idea to introduce separate settings for both
welcome and goodbye events, e.g.
- admin_notify_subscribes
- admin_notify_unsubscribes

Should I write a feature request for this?

Mailman already has too many settings and options. I don't think it is
a good idea to add more, unless there is a clear demand.

I think (no evidence - just a guess) that as many people would think
this should be one option as would think it should be two.


You are of course welcome to submit an RFE, but unless there is a
large, positive response, you probably won't see it implemented.

I am not asking for nor suggesting any changes but it might be easier for Ulf (if he is doing the mods) to use a bit mask.

Have the admin notify option use the following bits for differentiating between the subscribes and unsubscribes:

0x00: no notifications
0x01: notify subscribes
0x10: notify unsubscribes
0x11: notify both

In the code instead of looking for a yes/no/true/false, look for the appropriate bit.

Just my take (FWIW),
