Mailman list admin password reset

If you forget your admin list password for a mailman list in your linux ubuntu, type this at the console :

/usr/lib/mailman/bin/change_pw --listname=milist --domain=masterpop3.com --password=newpassword

where :

–listname=milist
Change the password only for the named list.  It is okay to give multiple -l options.

–domain=masterpop3.com
Change the password for all lists in the virtual domain `domain.com’.  It is okay to give multiple -d options.

–password=newpassword
Use the supplied plain text password `newpassword’ as the new password for any lists that are being changed (as specified by the -a, -d, and -l options).  If not given, lists will be assigned a randomly generated new password.

~Good luck ~
