Hey, all.
I received those password reset notices, but I just can't login on Lists'
pages. I keep receiving a message of "Authorization failed" even thought I
am copying and pasting the password as requested.
Is anybody else having the same problem?
Regards.

Hi,
Wikifi-admin list has been target of "subscription spam" since summer.
There are current 3670 subscription requests waiting for moderation. Is
there easy way to discard all those at once?
Hello list admins,
due to http://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/11/12/mailman-security-incident/
we have reset all list admin passwords. You should have already received a
new pass in the mail earlier.
I just wanted to add that we also changed all _moderator_ passwords, but as
opposed to admin passwords we could not just mail the owner address.
We don't expect that many lists actually use a separate moderator role
where people moderate who are _not_ also the list admin, but if this is the
case for one your lists, please change it to something new and let your
moderators know the new password.
Best regards,
--

Hello!
I just reset admin passwords for about 76 lists (list of lists
attached at end of mail), since during our first round we had
accidentally sent admin passwords to moderators as well. The new round
of password resets were sent out by mailman itself (instead of a
script we wrote) so it comes with the boilerplate text, but is sent to
the correct people.
Apologies for the inconvenience!

Heh last pass to the list I am admin at was short and I remembered it by heart. Now its long( If subscribers' passes are to be changed can it be done on per email basis? I mean I do not want instead of the same pass to all lists have a unique one in each so that I will need a lot of time changing them or a lot of time finding them if do not change. --Base
