Well, Jim, I just subscribed to 2 new email lists that I have never been on and I went through the steps that you described and I could get nowhere. These 2 lists were on lists9...what server were you attempting this on?

I was taken to the tools page where I could change anything I wanted to. The other "Braun" is adminned by someone else and I was in position to change anything, again, that I wanted to, including the admin address. This is not lists I already admin but those adminned by someone else or available for adoption. Try it! Subscribe to a list of your choice. When you click the link to confirm your subscription, click on "LISTNAME administrative interface" and see what happens. Jim

After that, I sent a message to VTBENNIN-admin to say I had made the attempt, and why, and that I was unsuccessful. VTBENNIN's list tools appear to be on LISTS2. Darrell

I tried it too and just got the "List Administrator Password" prompt and couldn't get in because I didn't have the password. I also have to provide the password for the lists for which I am the admin, so I can't see how you can get to the Admin pages without a password. The personal pages for each list (that we were promised six years ago) are still password protected and therefore unavailable to us, so we have less access than a standard Mailman implementation.
