wsuarez Posted March 7, 2003 Posted March 7, 2003 I have bulk subsribed a group of users to my humor list when I ported over from my last ISP. What password is assigned to these bulk subsribed users? It's not <null> as far as I can tell. Thanks, Bill Quote
rayners Posted March 7, 2003 Posted March 7, 2003 Each user is mailed individually with a randomly generated password for their particular address. Quote
wsuarez Posted March 7, 2003 Author Posted March 7, 2003 Curious - I had bulk added my own address and did not recieve that message. I will poll others that I subsribed in that fashion. Thanks, Bill Quote
rayners Posted March 7, 2003 Posted March 7, 2003 Ahh. I think I know what might have happened. The default for bulk subscriptions is not to send out Welcome messages, in which the password is included. That would explain that. Quote
wsuarez Posted March 8, 2003 Author Posted March 8, 2003 OK - fair enough. So how do those subsribers manage their accounts? Can I (as admin) set a password or force a "reset" to send them one? Are there doc's online for this app. that I just haven't found yet? Thanks, Bill Quote
rayners Posted March 8, 2003 Posted March 8, 2003 I'll have to look into the sending them passwords thing. You could always unsubscribe and resubscribe them, and check the button to send a welcome message along with the subscription. As for docs, head on over to the Mailman homepage. Quote
wsuarez Posted March 13, 2003 Author Posted March 13, 2003 Good point David, I can do that if necessary. It would be nice if there was an admin level "send password" capability. Thanks, Bill Quote
