Greetings: I'm having problem with administratively changing addresses. When I get a request to change addresses on this list I normally just go ahead and change it figuring that it's easier than explaining the process to those who didn't just go and change it themselves to start with. Several times this year I've had Mailman report success but continue to show the original address. Unfortunately I haven't kept a log of this to come up with any patterns.
In the most recent case, the username did not change while the domain did. I opened a ticket on the problem and the system admin suggested it was a Mailman bug when only the domain changed. (I am moderator on this list, I haven't had the same problem on my own server but also haven't had a need to make many changes on the small lists there.) The list in question is on Mailman 2.1.9, and I've been very impressed with the skill of the administrator so I don't think they've messed anything up - they run quite a few large high-volume lists. Is this a known bug? Is there anything we should be looking at? As of now I am logging changes and may see a pattern over time, but it could be a long time depending on activity.
