[Mailman-Users] How do I assign a default password when doing mass subscriptions

2011-12-12 Thread Rob Tanner
Hi,

I'm setting up a mailman list for the folks over in the anthropology department 
and they have a list of around email addresses that they wish to initially 
subscribe.  How do I assign a default password to each subscriber so they can 
get in via the web interface and change preferences, access private archives, 
etc?

Thanks.

ITS will never ask you for your password.  Please don’t share yours with anyone!

When you subscribe a list of addresses, either with web admin Mass
Subscription or with command line tools such as add_members or
sync_members, Mailman generates a random password for each new member.

If you select the option to send the list welcome message to the new
members, the welcome message will inform them of the password and the
URL of their options page.
