Thanks for the overview. That does help. Just a few more questions, if
you don't mind:

1. Do you have the mailing list set up so that users don't have to
confirm their addition to the list? If so, how is that done? 

2. Normally a password is involved to change user mailing list settings,
say if someone decides to remove themselves from the list. How do you
automate the removal of users from the list?

Thanks.
