Re: [Mailman-Users] Adding a second list admin
Frank, Are you having a problem? You quoted text that says when a list is created it send a message to the list owner, so the list owner knows the list was created and can start working on it. Then you say you added another list owner but got no message. That sounds exactly correct - no new list was created. Hope this helps. -- John DeCarlo, My Views Are My Own -- Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ This message was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
Re: [Mailman-Users] Adding a second list admin
Exactly. It worked just as documented. So how do I go about adding a new list admin, or replacing the current admin? Just adding the new name doesn't seem to be useful because there doesn't seem to be a way to notify them of their password. Unless I'm missing something (probably glaringly) obvious, it *should* send an email when someone is added, not just at list creation time. As it happens I could recreate this list, so there is an easy work around, but I'm puzzled as to why it allows the addition of new administrators when apparently there is no way to let them administer. That's why I tried config_list -o [edit to add new admin] config_list -i thinking that this was a bit like making a new list. I also made sure that the new admin was already a valid subscriber and tried using their list password but this didn't work. Apparently list users and admin passwords are not coupled even if they have the same email addresses (probably a good thing). Clearly, people do inherit lists and doubtlessly change admins. I did RTFM and the Archives but drew a blank - but there must be a way... Mailman version 2.0.11 (Debian). TIA -- Frank Middleton John DeCarlo wrote: Frank, Are you having a problem?

If you've added a second admin, that person can get the password from the first admin who should probably be informed that a second person has been added anyway. If the list admin changes, then the password should be changed. Using the site password, you can change the list password and then give that to the new admin. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ This message was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
[Mailman-Users] Adding a second list admin
Using Mailman version 2.0.11 (Debian) From The Manual: When the list was created and you were assigned ownership of the list you should have received an automatically-generated message... but it doesn't say how to add to or replace the list owner. I tried simply adding a new owner, but that didn't trigger an email. config_list -o followed by config_list -i didn't do it either. The archives appear to have nothing to say on this topic. Posts to the list make it to the putative new owner, so presumably it's not a system problem. Any insights would be much appreciated!
