Sourceforge is the place, but in this case, here will do. You can't retrieve list admin passwords by design because they are not stored anywhere except as a non-reversable hash. If a list admin password is lost, a mailman site admin can use the site password to access the list's password page and set a new list password or can use the bin/change_pw script to set a new password for the list. If the site password is lost, a site admin can set a new one with bin/mmsitepass. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
