Hi Mark, Why so old? The system has been around since the dawn of time and hasn't been upgraded since. It's running on an old sparc with Solaris. We are going to be upgrading to the new version soon hopefully. As you know though, it's not an easy task. :)
We seemed to just figure out the problem. We got the super duper mailman password confused with a list administrator password. That is, we are providing our users the list administrator/moderator passwords and we are using the super duper password to login as sysadmins. Thanks for your reply.

In Mailman 2.1.1 (why so old?) if you just specify list_name to bin/newlist, the list will be created in the DEFAULT_URL_HOST/DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST domains. if you want these to be different you have to create [EMAIL PROTECTED], specifying the web domain, not the email domain as url_host. >Right now it seems that the >moderator password does not work for this list (I know im using the >right one). Do you mean the moderator password or the list admin password? >Any ideas why this might happen? We are using Mailman version 2.1.1. Is >there some flag you need to set for moderators to login? No, but the moderator password can't log in to the admin interface, only to the admindb interface. Only the list admin or site admin password can be used to log in to the admin interface. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
