>Is it possible for a user to retrieve a lost password via email?

List members can retreive their passwords can be retrieved by going to the 
public list page <http://dom.ain/mailman/listinfo>. Follow the link to the 
appropriate list and you will see where you can get the password mailed to you.

List moderators' and administrators' passwords cannot be retreived (to my 
knowledge), but they can be reset on the list administration page. The main 
super-duper-password, which controls access to everything in Mailman, 
cannot be retrieved, but it can be reset by logging in (i.e., to a shell on 
the machine) and executing the command bin/mmsitepass.

  People in my area called and said, "How can you support [GATT] when
  you haven't read it?" They assume I haven't read it. They're right,
  of course - but I resent a little that they assume I haven't read it.
