Greetings!

        We maintain a list for a national organization that wants to require
subscribers to the list to sign a disclaimer before they can begin posting.
(Some legal issues)

        They idea we came up with is this.  Setup the mailing list to be
password protected in order to subscribe (subscribe <listname> <email
address> <password>).  If the user doesn't specify the password majordomo
sends a mail back with the disclaimer and the password (I AGREE).  They then
send another request back to subscribe with the password this time, which
will then successfully subscribe them.

        I haven't been able to find anything in the documentation that will
allow me to do this.  Does anyone know of a modification that will allow me
to do this?  Or know where I can get a sample of PERL code to do it?  Or
possibly have a better way of doing this.  Any input is greatly appreciated.
(I do know a little PERL so I can make changes to the code if necessary.)


                                                Matthew Brandes
