Yea, I'm pretty sure what happened to you is what happened to me. You weren't actually using crypt before - your 1.5.2 install probably didn't sucessfully enable the crypt library, so you were using the other password system. Python 2+ is much better about finding things, enables crypt, and suddenly all your passwords are broken, because by default crypt is enabled. Try setting USE_CRYPT to 0 in mm_cfg.py ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py
