Hi, Tom, You have posted to the [email protected]. This is a list where operators and moderators of lists on various hosts help each other with the operation of mailing lists using the Mailman software. However, we do not provide any list hosting ourselves. You need to contact the administrators of the "Telegram" service directly, because only they have the necessary authority to change passwords on their host. We simply do not have the access. > I have no idea why my password works with the Telegram Moderator > Authentication but then doesn't work with the Telegram > Administration Authentication? Any help would be appreciated. That is a question I can answer. In Mailman, moderation and list administration are separate functions. Moderators have very restricted powers, basically to approve or reject posts. List administrators are far more powerful, able to view and change members' subscription settings, even for members who have requested privacy, for example. Therefore these have separate passwords, allowing site administrators to have different security policies for the different functions. Depending on site policy, you may be able to set them to be the same, but you will need to take care to reset both manually; there is currently no way to configure so that resetting one password automatically resets the other to the same (new) password. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
