Deleting all lists and any trace of mailman from our systems
Hello, Apologies for blundering in and emailing the wrong lists - I need to get rid of all of the mailman delivery systems that my organisation has previously set up - I have most of the admin passwords as far as I'm aware, but I'm unfamiliar with this system - I have tried to look up the answer in previous threads on this forum but I don't understand what the commands mean and how to operate the system. Please can I get some guidance before I flip out like a ninja and alarm my colleagues.
Cheers

Do you have command line access to the server that hosts your Mailman installation? I.e. can you log in to a shell? If you do, you need to find Mailman's bin/ directory and run bin/rmlist to remove lists. run "bin/rmlist -h" for more details.
If you do not have sufficient access to find and run this command on the server, you need to contact the people who do.

I think it's very dangerous that you have the power you say/imply you wield over your systems. I feel like assisting you, but I'd like to first understand where you are coming from. Why is it that you want to get rid of Mailman? What has happened? Why don't you ask the person who set it up to shut it down? Getting rid of Mailman should be as simple as commenting out a few lines in the configuration file(s) of the SMTP engine running on your server, then restarting the SMTP engine. If you don't know how to do that, you really need to provide more information, and better answers to my foregoing questions.
