[Mailman-Users] add admins and moderators
hi, I have about 120 lists on my server for different customers, some are small (50 subscribers max) and some are medium and big (100 - 300 subscribers) I need to add my email address as a server owner to administrate and moderate the lists to make sure no illegal actions are taken.. is there a SSH command line that I can use to add my email as moderator or administrator instead of logging into the web interface of each list and adding it manually? if SSH is applicable I can make a script to do it automatically..

If you have the site admin password, you can log in and administer any list you want. You don't have to have the list admin password. Moreover, logging in and controlling things depends only on the admin password, and not whether your e-mail address is listed as one of the official owners. Anyone with the listowner or site admin password can get in, regardless. However, this doesn't do anything for notifications. If you want to be explicitly listed as a listowner for every list, and get all the appropriate listowner notices, then you will actually need to go in and add yourself as a listowner to each and every list. There are command-line tools that you can use to help make this process a lot easier, but I don't think there are any pre-written tools to do exactly what you want. I think you could get there using a withlist script, however. FAQ 4.09 at http://wiki.list.org/x/z4A9 details the various command-line tools that you have available to you as a site administrator. Try looking at those, and searching the archives and the FAQ Wiki to see examples of how to use some of them -- like withlist. -- Brad Knowles [EMAIL PROTECTED] LinkedIn Profile: http://tinyurl.com/y8kpxu -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9

You don't need to add your address as owner or moderator in order to
administer a list. You only need to add your address to 'owner' if you
want to receive notices sent by mailman and others to the owner.
is there a SSH command line that I can use to add my email as moderator or
administrator instead of logging into the web interface of each list and
adding it manually?
Presumably you already have set a Mailman site password since how else
would you log in to the web interface of each list? So I guess you
really do want to add your address as an owner of each list
if SSH is applicable I can make a script to do it automatically..
See
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2005-December/047993.html
for a way to add an owner to a list via the command line. To do it for
all lists, you could use a script like
#! /bin/sh
cd /mailman/installation/directory
for list in `bin/list_lists --bare` ; do
bin/config_list -i /path/to/file $list
done
Where /path/to/file is the path to the input prepared according to the
above referenced post.
As Brad notes, you can also do this with a withlist script and use
withlist's --all option to process all lists, but the withlist script
you'd need would be a bit more complex than the input file to
config_list which could be as simple as the single line
mlist.owner.append('[EMAIL PROTECTED]')
