Mass change of settings
How would I change one setting an all lists? For example, change a bounce processing setting on every list to be the same setting.
Thanks,

With bin/withlist -a and a simple script - see bin/withlist --help for examples. Note: that you should do the list locking and unlocking in the script - if you use bin/withlist -a -l and don't unlock the list after saving it in the script, you'll wind up with locked lists. You can find more help by searching this list's archives for 'withlist'.
Another method would be a shell script to get the list names (ls lists/) and run bin/config_list -i with a simple input file on all
lists. See bin/config_list -o for the format of the file and note:
that only things you want to change need be in the input.

Try
for I in bin/list_lists -b ;
do bin/config_list -i configfile $I ; done
from your mailman dir after you put the option(s) into the configfile.

I manage about 9 different lists on one hosted server. There are two main lists that include nearly everyone and then subcommittees each have their own list. I've given them all the same password, but it's a drag to have to go into each of them and enter the password every time I want to moderate messages. Any suggestions to make this simpler?

If this were your own server, you could read the comments regarding ALLOW_SITE_ADMIN_COOKIES in Defaults.py and decide whether you want to do this which would allow authorizing once per session for all lists with the site password. On a hosted server you probably don't have the ability to edit mm_cfg.py and you probably don't have access to the site password, so this is not an option.
Depending on your browser, you may be able to get it to remember the password and enter/submit it for you.
