Hello, List Owners...

Welcome!  This is the first posting to the UBListOwners list.  I hope
you'll find this list a good place to ask questions and give tips and
suggestions to your fellow list owners.  We'll also use the list to
communicate any changes and ask for improvement ideas.

We've quickly moved from the testing and "getting comfortable" phase to
a full on, production implementation of the Mailman software.  And a
couple of things have come up so far:

Message limit - It was quickly discovered that the default message size
of 40KB was too small.  This has been increased on every list, present
and future, to 100MB.  Some of you had already increased your limit to
something larger than 40 but still under 100 - those lists have been set
to the new 100MB default as well.

Passwords - A couple of you have asked about the administrator passwords
and their connection to your list subscription passwords.  As a list
subscriber, you have a password to manage your subscription, just as
everyone does on your list.  List subscribers can synchronize his/her
subscription passwords so that all of the lists to which he or she is
subscribed use the same password.  

However, the list administration password is not tied to your account
the same way, is a completely separate password and cannot be
synchronized with any other password.  You can, though, change your
list's administration password, once you have used it to authenticate on
the admin page, by visiting the "Passwords" link on the main
administrator page.

Please reply if you have any questions or suggestions!

Thanks,
Elizabeth
