I'm not sure where I ought to post this; if there's still a
Mailman list, it's not carried by Gmane. And even if there is, this
may be a Fedora question.
On my own domain (not Comcast) I've been running three lists
under Mailman for a good many years and Fedora releases. Two of them
are still fine.
The third went into abeyance five years back. I want to
resume it, or maybe start a replacement, with at least some of the
former subscribers. But I never wrote the listowner password down,
and of course I've forgotten it.
I have both user access and root access to my domain, but no
GUI, and the only way I've ever done anything with Mailman is through
the GUI.
Is there some way to use the CLI to find the list and set a
dummy listowner password?
If you are using the Fedora mailman package, you will want to run:
/usr/lib/mailman/bin/mmsitepass
(or if not, I guess wherever mmsitepass ends up).
That lets you set the site password, and that should work in most any
place it asks for a list admin password.
Hope that helps
