I'm a bit confused. The above link is to your options page, not some other user's, and that page doesn't have a field for the subscribers email address. If you mean you actually went to <http://zeta.pztop.com/mailman/options/sj-news> and entered the user's email and password or you went to <http://zeta.pztop.com/mailman/options/sj-news/user%40example.com> and entered the user's password, then there is a problem, but if you went to <http://zeta.pztop.com/mailman/options/sj-news/gao%40pztop.com> and entered the other user's password, that won't work. > All I want is 1) subscriber should able to log in and manage his > account, and 2) the member should be able to access the archive page.

Unfortunately, without command line access to the server, you can't fix this. If you have command line access, you can use Mailman's bin/withlist tool to examine and change the user's password. as in the following transcript /path/to/mailman/bin/withlist -l sj-news Loading list sj-news (locked) The variable `m' is the gpc-test MailList instance >>> m.passwords['[email protected]'] 'old_pw' >>> m.passwords['[email protected]'] = 'new_pw' >>> m.Save() >>> <- (enter control-D here to exit) Unlocking (but not saving) list: sj-news Finalizing If you don't have access to do this and can't enlist the help of someone who does, you'll have to delete the existing user and re-add her with a known password. -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
