Replace listname with the name of the mailing list. The subject and body of the message are ignored.

Setting and Changing Your Mailing List Password

You use your mailing list password to alter preferences for a list. The password should not be one that you use for other purposes because it is sent in plain text as a reminder periodically from the lists you are subscribed to.

To set or change your password:

1In a web browser, enter the URL of the list information page.

This is usually server.domain.tld/mailman/listinfo/listname.

2In the Subscriber section of the web page, enter your mail address and click Unsubscribe Or Edit Options.

3Enter your password, and click Log In.

This is not your user password. If you subscribed using the web interface, you chose a list password. If you subscribed via mail or were subscribed via Server Admin, your password is blank.

4Find the password section of the subscription page.
