They could be set as "nomail", of course. Plus, is there any way currently to know *which* admin or moderator approved or changed some config setting? That would be one reason to use the same system for managing normal users, admins, and moderators. I forgot my CPAN PAUSE password the other day -- it doesn't send you your password (I assume it doesn't know the plain text password), but rather it sends a brand new password that has to be confirmed before it can be used. A little more complex, but that's what ya get for forgetting your password. -- Bill Moseley [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------ 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 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
