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

Thanks for doing this.

Generally speaking, I doubt that most lists ever get around to changing their admin passwords. Would there be an appetite to mass change passwords once a year?

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,
