The new text says to change generic_nonmember_action but not where to 
change it. I see it in /var/lib/mailman/data/sitelist.cfg which I believe 
is site-wide and probably suffers the same issue. I haven't yet found it in 
the web interface. (It might be nice if the web interface included an "all 
settings" page, or at least an index of settings so one could then go to 
the specific page with that setting.)

Ideally I should be able to change it in a text file or otherwise with a 
shell utility, so that I can bulk-change the setting in all lists I manage 
with a script.
