There are no plans to implement this in any future release of Mailman 2.1.x. > Will that be a situation like send a message with a certain "code" in it > and owners get a confirmation email with a link to follow?

I can envision implementing this with a reminder button on the admin login page which would result in a confirmation request being sent to all 'owner' addresses. Then if any recipient confirmed, a new password would be randomly generated and mailed to all the owner addresses. Basically, the confirmation would result in running change_pw for the list, but I see potential problems with this, and I have no plans to actually implement it. Mailman 3 works differently and already has mechanisms for users to reset their passwords, and there are no 'owners' in the MM 2.1 sense, only users with multiple roles such as digest member of list1, regular member of list2, owner of list2, moderator of list3, etc. -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
