Well, and then I made a typo… The message limit is
changed to 100KB, not 100MB.
Sorry for any confusion! (and raised hopes?)

Subject: [UBListOwners] Some notes
on message size and passwords
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,
