====================== Mailing list addresses ====================== Every mailing list has a number of addresses which are publicly available. These are defined in the ``IMailingListAddresses`` interface. >>> mlist = create_list('_xtest@example.com') The posting address is where people send messages to be posted to the mailing list. This is exactly the same as the fully qualified list name. >>> print(mlist.fqdn_listname) _xtest@example.com >>> print(mlist.posting_address) _xtest@example.com Messages to the mailing list's `no reply` address always get discarded without prejudice. >>> print(mlist.no_reply_address) noreply@example.com The mailing list's owner address reaches the human moderators. >>> print(mlist.owner_address) _xtest-owner@example.com The request address goes to the list's email command robot. >>> print(mlist.request_address) _xtest-request@example.com The bounces address accepts and processes all potential bounces. >>> print(mlist.bounces_address) _xtest-bounces@example.com The join (a.k.a. subscribe) address is where someone can email to get added to the mailing list. The subscribe alias is a synonym for join, but it's deprecated. >>> print(mlist.join_address) _xtest-join@example.com >>> print(mlist.subscribe_address) _xtest-subscribe@example.com The leave (a.k.a. unsubscribe) address is where someone can email to get added to the mailing list. The unsubscribe alias is a synonym for leave, but it's deprecated. >>> print(mlist.leave_address) _xtest-leave@example.com >>> print(mlist.unsubscribe_address) _xtest-unsubscribe@example.com Email confirmations =================== Email confirmation messages are sent when actions such as subscriptions need to be confirmed. It requires that a cookie be provided, which will be included in the local part of the email address. The exact format of this is dependent on the ``verp_confirm_format`` configuration variable. :: >>> print(mlist.confirm_address('cookie')) _xtest-confirm+cookie@example.com >>> print(mlist.confirm_address('wookie')) _xtest-confirm+wookie@example.com >>> config.push('test config', """ ... [mta] ... verp_confirm_format: $address---$cookie ... """) >>> print(mlist.confirm_address('cookie')) _xtest-confirm---cookie@example.com >>> config.pop('test config')
