Perhaps you are joking here, but I'll answer anyway.  I assume you 
are referring to the MTA built-in aliases.  I'd like non-root users 
to be able to add people to the list.  I previously ran this list on 
majordomo, but everyone says "mailman, mailman, mailman", so here I 
am.

I figured that part out  (yay for me :)  )  But then they can just go 
to the web interface for your email address (e.g. 
http://doman.com/mailman/options/test/robert.jacobson%40gsfc.nasa.gov)
And tell it to email you a password reminder.

How do you disable that?  And does that also disable the options screen?

If this gets too complicated, I guess I'll switch back to majordomo :-/
