This feature allows you to reset the password for your server's Mailman mailing list software and mailing lists. You do not need the old password to set a new password, which can be useful if you cannot remember the old password or if hackers compromised it.

To reset a Mailman password, perform the following steps:
-
In the Mailman Account Lists menu, select the mailing list whose password you wish to change.
Note:
The mailman mailing list is only for internal use by the Mailman application. If you have problems with mailing lists on your server, reset this password.
- Enter and confirm the new password in the appropriate text boxes.
Notes:
