1. Log into hosted1 or collab1
1. sudo /usr/local/bin/fedora-mailing-list-setup

The site password can be used to reset lists admin passwords if required.
Note: If you change the site password, please update this file.
== ML password reset ==
When a user has requested their mailman password be reset go to the mailing list admin interface at:

Use the site-admin password (see above) to log in, set the password to something.  Then email the list admin the new password as well as asking them to change it.

<pre>
service mailman restart
service postfix restart
</pre>
=== How to delete a mailing list ===
Delete a list, but keep the archives
<pre>
sudo /usr/lib/mailman/bin/rmlist <listname>
</pre>
Delete a list and its archives

sudo /usr/lib/mailman/bin/rmlist -a <listname>
</pre>
