How can I find my subscriber password?

Question: I've forgotten my password for a Mailman list. Can you tell me what it is?

Answer:

If you are subscribed to the list with an @u.washington.edu address, you can use your UW NetID and password. Otherwise, you will need to know your subscriber password.

To get your password for a Mailman list, go to the list's information page at

http://mailman.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/listname

where "listname" is replaced with the list's actual name.

Under the list's Subscribers section you will see an "Unsubscribe or edit options" button next to which you can enter your email address. Enter the email address with which you are subscribed to the list and click on the button. This will take you to the list's "Membership Configuration" page where you can change your membership options, unsubscribe to the list, or request a password reminder. By clicking on the "Remind" button at the bottom of the page, your list password will be emailed to you.
