If you are already subscribed...the message when you go to that page and check that little box on the main administration page [if I'm checking the box you mean] is this: ----------------------------------- An attempt was made to subscribe your address to the mailing list full-disclosure () lists grok org uk. You are already subscribed to this mailing list. Note that the list membership is not public, so it is possible that a bad person was trying to probe the list for its membership. This would be a privacy violation if we let them do this, but we didn't. If you submitted the subscription request and forgot that you were already subscribed to the list, then you can ignore this message. If you suspect that an attempt is being made to covertly discover whether you are a member of this list, and you are worried about your privacy, then feel free to send a message to the list administrator at full-disclosure-owner () lists grok org uk. -------------------------------Therefore, I beleive the proper answer is to get the help file commands by sending an email to full-disclosure-request () lists grok org uk with help in the subject line
Which then dumps out a email to you that says subscribe [password] [digest|nodigest] [address=<address>] Subscribe to this mailing list. Your password must be given to unsubscribe or change your options, but if you omit the password, one will be generated for you. You may be periodically reminded of your password. The next argument may be either: `nodigest' or `digest' (no quotes!). If you wish to subscribe an address other than the address you sent this request from, you may specify `address=<address>' (no brackets around the email address, and no quotes!) unsubscribe [password] [address=<address>] Unsubscribe from the mailing list. If given, your password must match your current password. If omitted, a confirmation email will be sent to the unsubscribing address. If you wish to unsubscribe an address other than the address you sent this request from, you may specify `address=<address>' (no brackets around the email address, and no quotes!) you then have to send another email to the list getting your password if the list generated one for you..... password [<oldpassword> <newpassword>] [address=<address>] Retrieve or change your password. With no arguments, this returns your current password. With arguments <oldpassword> and <newpassword> you can change your password. Option 2 is to unsubscribe and resubscribe in digest? But Option 3 came out of the help email that was sent to me by the program: https://lists.grok.org.uk/mailman/options/full-disclosure/youremail%40yourdomainname ? Once you get into THAT site, enter in a password that I retrieved [again from the help email instructions]...then you can set it back to digest. Sorry ... I guess I'm blonde... it "is" a bit confusing and did take a while to figure out the 'right' checkbox. Susan

The list should have a competent admin who does not subscribe me to full mode when I asked for digest only! It's not only the unauthorised junk in my inbox that is unacceptable, it's the expectation that I should waste my time changing passwords, settings etc. for one pissant list, else get spammed.You are absolutely right.It is annoying to go to the web page and click on a small box. I am not being cynical (here).Problem is, Mailman is annoying with such changes... so instead of asking why and/or just fixing yourself in 2 seconds...I'd sue the admins. After all, this is a service you pay good money for. Gadi. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
