archiving via email interface
by Addey O.S.E. May 3, 2000

May 3, 2000

I've been using MailMan for a few months now and it's great. The archiving stuff is great too, with one exception.

How to access or change the Admin password?
by Clif J. Smith May 2, 2000

May 2, 2000

I'm the new administrator who's never used mailman before and the previous admins who have - quit. No one know's the admin password, is there a way I can change it or find out what it is. Is it as simple as changing the UNIX user mailman's password? Thanks, Clif -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Clif J. Smith cjs226w(a)bigfoot.com There is no spoon.
