I just tried it with the 'playground' mailing list and it worked just fine. I got the password reminder within minutes. FWIW, the playground list is just that, a dummy list that the postmasters can use to experiment with the live Mailman system on mpo. I'm not sure why you haven't gotten you password reminder. >The page at http://mail.python.org says, "If you are having trouble using the >lists, please contact [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>," so I >sent my questions there. That's pretty much a canned listinfo overview page. We could hack that to explicitly name [email protected]. [email protected] is the site list, and until just now, only myself and Ralf were members of that list, and my delivery is disabled. I just added [email protected] to that mailing list, so it should forward everything to the postmasters. >I got an automated response email that said that no one will answer, and to >write to [email protected]. I forwarded my questions there. Yep, that's Mailman's replybot. >I got an automated response email in German that said to send requests to >[email protected]. So I forwarded my questions there. Yep, that's probably Ralf's replybot. ;) >I got an automated response email (in German and English!) that said, "Thank >you for your email.

Things seem broken on a >number of levels. [email protected] is the right place ultimately for all things email for python.org. I'm not sure whether the postmasters read pydotorg-www. As MAL points out, it's the typical slow holiday season, so response may be delayed.
