Folks,
apparently some lists still have the monthly password reminder active. I
remember that there was general consent that we should turn these off.
But Mailman does not have an option to do this for all lists at once (or
/me too dumb to find the setting). OSGeo currently operates 200 public
plus a few dozen private lists and I am too lazy to check them all
individually. But I did turn off discuss (this one) and a few other
larger onces now.
Please feel free to ping me if you are on a list that still reminds you
and want it turned off by an admin.
If you are a list operator yourself please check the setting "Send
monthly password reminders?" and set it to off - except at least 51% of
your subscribers cry out in pain and want it back on. 
Have fun,
Arnulf

Question: who from SAC turned them all off some months ago?
Please teach us the trick...
thanks

Markus,
my understanding was that there is no such option, unfortunately -
just people looking for it. Otherwise why would Discuss still have
been turned "On"? I just turned it "Off" this morning using the web
interface. If anybody thinks this list should sty turned "On" please
holler.
Cheers,
Arnulf

Hi,
I think I have figures it out, script attached which I have executed
on the list server.
So the job should be done for all 200 lists.
cheers
