[Mailman-Users] group mismatch error

2014-12-03 Thread David Benfell

Just trying a number of things I don't usually play with as a list server admin. This one is odd. Going to the member options page from the general info page (not logged in as an admin), I enter my email address on the latter and get the login page for user list management. The page shows, quite

I would have thought the biggest problem with a Cc list is keeping the list up to date. If new people need to be added, removed or updated, people may use an old list for a long time after. It may be impossible to get some people to update it ever, or they might update then revert to an old one.
