Hi all,
Thank you first of all Mark for taking time to answer my queries. I do
note your point but my experience has been the above works (most of
the time) . It is a compromise but then we all have only so much time
that can be used between competing interests and I found out that the
above  works for me.

My apologies here. I guess I forgot to clarify what I had done. I
tried looking for the query  framed as 'unique listadmin password'
both on the wiki as well
http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/ search function
to see if some prior discussions had taken before on the same/similar
topic but did not get any exact results. The only remotely similar
email I got was the link I shared before :-

I do know the difference between authenticating as a member and as an
admin but as already answered the feature I'm looking for is coming in
MM 3.

Thank you once again.
