No. The member's passwords are stored as plain text. The list passwords (admin and moderator) are stored as a more secure, irreversible hash. >Any reason why admins are not managed along with all the other list >members? And just have an additional role for "admin"? In addition to the fact that the admin passwords are stored in a more secure way because the consequences of compromise are more serious, there is no requirement that the list admin(s) be a list member. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
