In terms of your version, you are using a pre-release/beta version, so depending on how you installed that would give you more ideas about whether updating the VM OS would break things. What OS is the VM running now, is is being patched etc? 3 is there a way of changing all my passwords with out doing them one by one Do you mean your list admin passwords or something else? Thanks.

If you mean you want lists that are not 'advertised' to show on the admin and listinfo overview pages only if you and no one else goes to the page, that would require modifications to the source code. You could possibly implement your own CGI or PHP page that would run Mailman's bin/list_lists command and display the results. 2. if i update my linode server will it break my mailman only i was told it would the version i am useing is 2.1.16rc2 witch i was also told is the most accessible for the blind There should be no difference in accessibility between Mailman 2.1.16rc2 and later versions. I don't know why a server upgrade would break Mailman. I suppose there could be issues resulting from an upgrade, but without knowing more detail about both the current and upgraded configurations, I have no idea what they might be. 3 is there a way of changing all my passwords with out doing them one by one If you mean list member passwords, a list member can change her password globally from her options page for any list of which she is a member. If you mean list admin passwords, you can use Mailman's bin/change_pw tool to change the admin password for all or selected lists. -- Mark Sapiro m...@msapiro.netThe highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

Also, I am a blind user, and there will be no accessibility problems by moving to 2.1.20. Dave There should be no difference in accessibility between Mailman 2.1.16rc2 and later versions.
