[Mailman-Users] Sending password reminder emails.

2014-03-05 Thread Richard


Hello Everyone,

I have more than once wished I could send out password reminder emails to 
either individuals or an entire list. However, I haven't found a way to do 
that yet. How can I do this, please?


Thanks,
Richard

There should be a cron to send password reminders each month.
IIRC, each list has an admin setting that determines if that
list gets reminders.  ALL of my list-creation templates had
reminders disabled; I did nothing to disable the cron job.
As I wrote to this list on Feb. 28 - when I was running a
Mailman installation, I saw no need to send password reminders.

As Barry F. notes, you can run Mailman's

 cron/mailpasswds -l LISTNAME

to send reminders for LISTNAME, but this will only send the reminders
for LISTNAME if LISTNAME's send_reminders setting is Yes and will only
send them to those members who haven't opted out of reminders via the
Get password reminder email for this list? setting on their user
options page.

To send a reminder to u...@example.com, go to a URL like
http://mailman.host/mailman/options/LISTNAME/u...@example.com and
click the Remind button.
