Troubleshooting and Resolution

List Administration

The mailman site password for hosted1 can be found it /root/mm_sitepass

sudo cat /root/mm_sitepass

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:

https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/admin/<MailingListName>

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.

Restart Procedure

If the server needs to be restarted mailman should come back on it's own. Otherwise each service on it can be restarted:

sudo service mailman restart
sudo service postfix restart

How to delete a mailing list

Delete a list, but keep the archives

sudo /usr/lib/mailman/bin/rmlist <listname>

Delete a list and its archives

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