Where is the template for monthly password reminders?
Where can I find the template for the monthly password reminder email?
I'd like to modify it so that it doesn't contain the password (our members object to this being sent unbidden in plain text), and so that it reminds users to make sure their subscription address matches the address from which they currently send email (ideally with a link to their personal options page so they can update).

See the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/jYA9>. The template name is cronpass.txt

You can add the reminder, but you can't remove the passwords by modifying the template because the lists/passwords are added following the text built from the template. To remove the passwords, you'd need to modify the code in Mailman's cron/mailpasswds script.

Hi all,
I need to merge List A into List B. My plan is to run list_members on both lists and use the Unix 'uniq' tool to find the members of List A who are not already in List B. Then I'll use the web interface's mass subscription page to add the members from List A to List B.
Following that, I'll run rmlist on List A without deleting its archives.
However, ideally I'd like to make the archives of Lists A and B available in one place to all the members of the new expanded List B.
Any suggestions?

Depending on how lazy you want to be, I'm guessing you might be able to just take the member list from List A and mass subscribe it to List B.
I think Mailman would just complain about the people who are already subscribed to List B and then process the rest. Though I haven't tried this.
I tried playing around with uniq (and two dummy files) and it might do what you want but the results weren't intuitive to me.
I hacked together a script a few years ago to compare two files and say which lines are just in file A, just in file B, or in both; it's at http://blog.anthonyrthompson.com/listserv-to-mailman/code/utils/filecompline...
Following that, I'll run rmlist on List A without deleting its archives. However, ideally I'd like to make the archives of Lists A and B available in one place to all the members of the new expanded List B.
If it was me, I'd just remove all the subscribers from List A, add a dummy subscriber account set with delivery off and mod on, and then give out the dummy account and its password to the folks on List B for archive access.

Or you could just concatenate the List A and List B list_members output and use that as input to bin/sync_members ListB.
See bin/sync_members --help for usage. Note if you use '-f' on list_members for List A, the real names will be added too.

Concatenate the archives/private/lista.mbox/lista.mbox and archives/private/listb.mbox/listb.mbox files to make a new combined archives/private/listb.mbox/listb.mbox and then run
bin/arch --wipe listb
