[Mailman-Users] Password reminders
The installation of mailman that I'm using has the monthly sending of password reminders as the default setting. This led to some discussion with members of one of my mailman lists. It seems very odd that mailman sends clear-text passwords through e-mail. The use of one-way hashing passwords has been known a long time - Unix version 6 that came out in 1975 already had crypt that was used for one-way encryption of passwords. Does anybody know why mailman stores passwords in clear text? I imagine that, back in the '90s, when majordomo was written, it seemed an OK thing to do because nobody thought that all their email was being read - now that everybody knows that e-mail is entirely unsafe, it seems odd that mailman still does this.

[Mailman-Users] Any way to globally search and/or remove a user
Curious here about the following:
Is there any way or utility for Mailman that will allow me to search ALL the
mailing lists on the server for a given user email and then remove that email
address?
I don't care about sending out a nice email to them - these are SPAM passing
emails that have gotten added and I just want them gone...it's not a huge
number maybe 2 dozen, but when you spread that over say 8 lists and 2 servers
the workload adds up to do it manually. In a perfect solution I could feed it a
list of addresses in a flat file and let it go, if I have to build one line at
a time that's not so bad either, but pointing and clicking it ugly and time
consuming.
Conversely there probably is a bounce setting that I could be using to let it
drop them after say 1or 2 bounces, but that kills off anyone with even a
transient mail server issue so I'd rather go the manual route above.
Thanks,
George
