Subscriber password override?
by Lindsay Haisley 02 Nov '19

02 Nov '19

I have signed a neighbor up to a mailing list I administer. She's borderline computer literate and hates passwords, so I said I'd assign her a simple password. It seems that Mailman 2 doesn't allow the list administrator to assign passwords and I get "Error: The list administrator may not change the password for a user" when I try. Is there any way to override this? There should be, since passwords are as much for protection of the integrity of a list's subscriber base as they are for protection of a subscriber - and this is rightfully a concern of the list admin, as is helping subscribers who need some hand holding. -- Lindsay Haisley | "The only unchanging certainty FMP Computer Services | is the certainty of change" 512-259-1190 | http://www.fmp.com | - Ancient wisdom, all cultures

i received a notification that one of the users on my list was unsubscribed. I'm surprise because the configuration for the list specified that unsubscribes have to be approved, and this wasn't. How could that happen? /Bernie\ Bernie Cosell bernie(a)fantasyfarm.com -- Too many people; too few sheep --
