I hope somebody told him the master password ! I guess that doing http://hiswebaddress/mailman/admin he can see all the publicly advertised lists, and then enter each list administration panel.

[Mailman-Users] Mailman admin question
Hello, I have not played much with mailman but I am curious about something. I inherited a machine that runs mailman and one of the lists is setup through postfix aliases to do the following: blah-subscribe /usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe blah blah-join /usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman join blah How do I find out what mailman join blah resolves to? I guess my question is ultimately - where do I look to find out who gets the join and subscribe requests? For fun I subscribed to the blah list and never received a reply. I looked at the mail logs on the same machine and found an entry along the lines of: Apr 19 20:19:07 (242320 blah: pending name email ip There are a bunch of lines below mentioning other users subscribing to the same list and their requests being approved.
