Could you be more > specific, or perhaps give us an example? Attached is an example message (the password's been changed so it's not compromised, even though it is a test list). The _site_ list is "mailman", the list the address belongs to is "testlistcboyce". The password reminder is from "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", and they are prompted to send "questions, problems, comments, etc" to this address in the body as well. A simple template change can fix the body (if I can figure out the variable for the right address), but the From: address portion is a bit harder. The main issue with this is we currently have 140 lists on the server, and I'm about to programmatically migrate another 600-800 lists from our aging majordomo server. So on the first of every month, for every list that has password reminders set to go out, any replies to these thousands of messages (which invariably are unsubscribe requests) go to mailman-owner, which as I understand it is the site admin, and shouldn't be hit with unsubscribe requests for individual lists. -Kevan
