I'm in the process of migrating a Mailman mailing-list of about 500 subscriber addresses from one server to another. The list-owner is an NGO and I'm not sure about the carefulness by which the addresses were collected. So as the first thing after migration I want to confirm the opt-in status of every subscriber.

I intend to send a first newsletter telling everybody who wants to remain on the list to re-confirm the subscription by clicking on a confirmation link.

Can this be done with Mailman? If yes, how do I create those links, how do I check the confirmation and/or what is the preferred way to go?

Even thou those are noble intents I wouldn't do the verification without getting that signed off. You'll have to have a certain degree of trust. How happy would your client? be if suddenly 250 people unsubscribed? – Server Horror Jun 19 '11 at 0:49
