[Mailman-Users] List domain - was: Mailman list sends but doesn'treceive mail.

[JRC Groups]

Mark,

Is there a way to force Mailman to send this password reminder e-mails so
that I can see what the message looks like now that I have been able to edit
and lock the mm_cfg.py file ? I would like to verify if this has fixed the
problem and also look at the headers.

Thank you,

Joe
