Description

I am using James 2.3.0 on a Fedora Core 5 system. Few months ago I had the need to create some mailing list.

I have uncommented listserverConfig and listserverStores in config.xml and I have edited james-listmanager.xml and james-liststores.xml to set up my mailing lists. I am also using a modified version of miResources.xml to personalized the automatic responses from the mailing lists.

With James 2.3.0 there are basically only 3 commands available to a user: subscribe, unsubscribe and info.

I have managed to set James so that nobody can send emails to the mailing lists, and that only one special user can send emails. This is done because the email are sent automatically by my server. More than a mailing list you can see it as a distribution list.

The feature I would like to see in one of the next releases of James is to be able to set up an administrator, i.e. a special email address, that can perfom more advanced commands, like subscribing and unsubscribing users and getting the list of subscribers. Regarding this last bit, I know that this is already possible using ${MEMBER_LIST}, but as it is at the moment everybody would receive the list of subscribers, and I would like to keep that private, for obvious reasons of privacy of course.

Thanks
Giulio
