Admin interfaces specifies Mailman lists on any server - you need to know the admin URL and password. You specify the title and description for each list and whether to send notification to the list owner of subscribes/unsubscribes. Users can then manage their subscriptions on the front end. Only registered users can use the extension (they need to have a validated email address).
Based on the technique used in the Mailman/Joomla bridge by Curtis Preston and Scott Harris, this has been completely re-written as a J1.5 native component.
NB because of the way this works by poking directly in to the admin interface on Mailman it will bypass any normal approval set up on the list.
v0.3 - access control using Joomla user levels to show/hide lists.
v0.4dh - it seems some hosting services (eg Dream Host) use non-standard path for Mailman (eg domain/admin.cgi/listname). Version 0.4dh specifically solves this problem - will be folded into the next common version. Always check the path in the admin backend and klet me know if you see something that doesn't work.
v0.4 - new enhancements allow admin users to manage all email subscriptions. Bugfix for Mailman v2.1.11. Enhanced backend allows testing of List url. Various minor bugixes.
v0.4 is still a pre-release version - use with caution and test in your environment before use on a live site. Tested on J1.5.7 and php5.2 at present. Works with Mailman 2.1.9 and 2.1.11
