Mailing Lists at the University of Birmingham List Owner's Guide Administration of Lists List Password

Every list has a password which controls administrative access to the list. This password is generated automatically and is sent to you in the email message that confirms creation of the list. You may change this password at any time by using the majorcool web interface.

Alternatively, although this mechanism is no longer recommended, you can send email to majordomo@bham.ac.uk containing the command

passwd <listname> <oldpass> <newpass>

where <listname> is the name of the list, <oldpass> is the current password and <newpass> is the new password. For example, if the listname is "trees", the old password is "xyzzy" and you wish to set a new password of "brt6yhjui", the command would be

passwd trees xyzzy brt6yhui
