Is it possible to generate a link in my web application that will log a user directly in to MailMan?
Yes, if you are generating a dynamic web page with user information, then you can create a link that will log the user straight in to MailMan. Simply create a link to your MailMan installation that includes parameters for the information provided by the login form. For example, to log in to a MailMan installation at http://mail.mycompany.com, your link would look like this: http://mail.mycompany.com?LOGIN=1&USERNAME=U1&PASSWORD=P1&SERVER=S1 Replace the “U1” with your user’s POP3 user name, replace “P1” with your user’s POP3 password, and replace “S1” with the name of the mail server. When your user follows this link, MailMan will interpret the parameters as if the user had submitted the login form. You can include other parameters from the form as well, such as specifying frames or no-frames mode.
