Hi Frank.
I feel your pain. I, too, am trying to make a transition from majordomo
to mailman and have found zero information or answers on how to
be able to do management with a single administrative password.
Everybody says 'send a "help" message', but that doesn't nearly
answer all the questions.
What I want is the majordomo-like ability to invoke any administrative
configuration command, using a single administrative password, via
email, with no questions asked.
I really think Mailman is much better than majordomo, but if I have
to use a web interface for everything I'll eventually wind up hating
it. Here's my command, here's my password, now just do it.
I've been testing various commands on a dummy list, but it's a
long process, and I'm surprised there isn't a document specifically
slanted towards weaning people off majordomo.
Here's the one I'm looking into now for somebody else who just
re-hosted a list to a new provider who uses MM.
There's a mess of these administrative "bounces" due to . .

I want to simply delete this task, via email. I'll send somebody a message
saying the message was too big, and to try again.
I'm sorry to say it, but the average end user doesn't want to use a
web interface, either. I've been putting footer instructions in emails for
years and most people still ignore them. That being the case I want
full administrative control via email. I understand all the security
implications of sending clear text passwords, but this is an email list
we're talking about, not a banking system
This is just my wish list. MM still looks like a great package. :-)
