2 questions:

1. when i create a new list with 'newlist -q mylist paul@paul.com mypass' it creates the list fine, but it always changes the case of the listname to uppercase. ie "mylist" becomes "Mylist".

   This means I need to go in to the web interface to change it back to lower case every time. How do I stop this from happening? What code needs to be edited ? I'm using mailman 2.0.13

Why do you think you need to change it in the web UI???? That thinking is absolutely unnecessary since the listname as it appears to you does not affect you in any way! Read my lips ;-)

2. Is there/how does the global admin password work? I want to delegate list management to the list owners, but still have a password that will get me in to the admin section of any list. How do I implement this?

You have the site password, even the CLI access to it. This is shallow but I'd just share the same password with them. If they change it, I can use the CLI to manage the list, no?

    cheers
