[Mailman-Users] Help with MAILMAN list password

[Mauricio Juarez]

Thank you for your help but:

1. I changed the password fot the entire Mailman site with mmsitepass
2. I changed again all lists admin password with change_pw command line, 
I receive the new password by email without problem
3. I changed in each list Admin Website the moderator and admin 
password, in http:/mydomain/mailman/admin/LISTNAME and the Password 
option, only mailman list i can not (* see explication above)

Now I can used the new password, but the old password work too :(, I 
tried different browsers

_*EXPLICATION mailman list- I want to know sometime:
_
I can not make changes in my MAILMAN LIST 
http://mydomain/mailman/admin/mailman

mydomain = mail.example.com

And the Mailman list is configure with example.com in the host 
configuration, so I can go in  
http://mail.example.com/mailman/admin/mailman if I write the correct 
dmain, but I can not save a change, because the page 
http://example.com/mailman/admin/mailman doesnt exist, so I thing my 
problem of password is linked with that because is the only password 
list taht I can not change in the site.  Do you know how I can change 
the host example.com by mail.example.com in a command line? I can not 
change in the admin mailman website, because I can not save

So if I change the linked host example.com by mail.example.com in th 
mailman list, maybe I can try to change the password in this list too 
and my problem with the old password it is going to disappear


txs for your help
