Re: [Mailman-Users] Searching across lists and making global changes
Hi, Sorry again for the top-post, not using my regular Email client. This is a temporary condition. First, your members can do this for themselves, and I for one encourage them to do this. They can simply change these in their options page for one of the lists and then choose to change it globally. Unfortunately, there appears to be some restriction that prevents a list admin from doing this. I vaguely recall that there is a work-around for this, but can't recall it right now. I'm sure someone will mention it if there is.

I tend to see how many entries there are, if it's one or two, i'll do it manually; clone_member is a dandy tool for where there are quite a few. Both of those just work on the email address; for the name, make the person handle that via /options, and instruct them to set the 'set globally' option. -- ``novissima autem inimica destruetur mors omnia enim subiecit sub pedibus eius cum autem dicat'' (I Corinthios 15:26 (Biblia Sacra Vulgata)) -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org

Only the admin interface etc. I presume that is of no use(?) It doesn't look that way; although if the hosts will write a wrapper to make clone_members/find_members available that may be a help. I don't imagine you're the site-admin, either, for the lists. That said, you might find the thread of which http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/msg41130.html is a part, of interest. I would suggest that, in the absence of these, you get the users to bloody-well do their housekeeping themselves. Point them to the options page, if necessary, pre-fill a URI with their email address, so something like: http://lists.example.org/mailman/options/listfoo/f...@example.com where they can change their name, and see which other lists that email address is a member of. People asking me -- as listadmin -- to change their subscriptions usually get something like mail me the request from both the old and new address so i know it's not nefarious, or visit http://lists.example.org/help#swapsub for instructions on how to do it yourself. That said, I'm grumpy, and miserable, and believe people should take responsibility for themselves. -- ``Democracy means that if the doorbell rings in the early hours, it is likely to be the milkman.''
