But Sam, it would be good if we had the option or not of wanting lists to be foolproofed from autoresponders or simpler for the end user to deal with. This particular "feature" is the main reason I don not use courier-mlm because I do not want to fend off "but we don't have to do that with the other mailing-list software" comments from my clients.

Look in the courier source tarball for a file courier/cmlm.C. There's a function in there at line 278 (courier-0.44.0) called "int goodconfirm(CString msg)" Comment out everything except the last line of the function "return (0)" so that it looks like this:

int goodconfirm(CString msg) { return (0); }

Now couriermlm will no longer check for the "yes" in the subject line. (But it won't care if someone does add it.)

This comes from a *very* cursory look at the source code. You'll need to recompile and try this out to see if it works. If it does then you'll also need to change the message that gets sent to users telling them to add the "yes". That's found in the sub.tmpl, unsub.tmpl, and help.tmpl files within the mailinglist home directory.
