6.1 How do I get my password?
59
If you've forgotten your password and haven't saved the welcome message or
60
any reminder messages, you can always get a reminder through the web interface:
65
<LI>Go to the list information page for the list from which you wish to
67
(This will probably be something like
68
<a class="url" href="http://WEBSERVER/mailman/listinfo/LISTNAME">http://WEBSERVER/mailman/listinfo/LISTNAME</a>)
70
<LI>Look for the section marked ``LISTNAME subscribers''
71
(this section is usually found near the bottom of the page).
73
<LI>There should be a button marked ``Unsubscribe or Edit Options.''
74
Enter your email address in the box beside this button and press the
77
<LI>You should be brought to a new page which has an ``Password
78
Reminder'' section. Press the ``Remind'' button to have your password
84
If you do not receive the password reminder email after doing this, make sure
86
email address correctly and that the address you used is, indeed, actually
87
subscribed to that list. For security reasons, Mailman generates the same
88
member options page regardless of whether the address entered is subscribed
89
or not. This means that people cannot use this part of the web interface to
90
find out if someone is subscribed to the list, but it also means that it's
91
hard to tell if you just made a typo.
94
You can also get a reminder using the email interface,
97
<LI>Send a mail to <span class="email">LISTNAME-request@DOMAIN</span> with the command
102
in either the body or the subject of the message. (See
103
Section <A HREF="node10.html#sec:email">3.2</A> for more information about sending mail
107
If you are not sending mail from your subscribed address, you can also
108
specify this address by sending the command <var>password address=<SPAN CLASS="MATH"><IMG
109
WIDTH="16" HEIGHT="29" ALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0"
111
ALT="$<$"></SPAN>ADDRESS<SPAN CLASS="MATH"><IMG
112
