How do I change my e-mail address, find my password and my other user options
To change your subscription address
- Log in to your member options page. (See below for more details on how to do this.)
- In the section marked "Changing your LISTNAME membership information," enter your new address.
- If you wish to change your address for all subscriptions using the old address, select the "Change globally" box. If you have subscriptions under another address or for lists on a different domain, these will have to be done separately.
- Usually found at http://www.animalbehavior.org/mailman/options/absnet/YOUREMAILADDRESS (For example, http://lists.example.com/mailman/options/mylist/kathy@here.com )
- This page can also be accessed by going to the absnet listinfo page and entering your email address into the box beside the button marked "Unsubscribe or Edit Options" (this is near the bottom of the page).
- The member options page allows you to log in/out and change your list settings, as well as unsubscribe or get a copy of your password mailed to you.
- To log in to your member options page: If you are not already logged in, there will be a box near the top for you to enter your password. (If you do not know your password, see below for more information on getting your password.) Enter your password in the box and press the button.
- Once you are logged in, you will be able to view and change
all your list settings.
- Go to the list information page for the list from which you wish to get your password (This will probably be something like http://abs.animalbehavior.org/mailman/listinfo/absnet)
- Look for the section marked "ABSNET subscribers" (this section is usually found near the bottom of the page).
- There should be a button marked "Unsubscribe or Edit Options." Enter your email address in the box beside this button and press the button.
- You should be brought to a new page which has an "Password Reminder" section. Press the "Remind" button to have your password emailed to you.
How do I get my password for a mailing list
If you've forgotten your password and haven't saved the welcome message or any reminder messages, you can always get a reminder through the web interface:
If you do not receive the password reminder email after doing this, make sure that you typed your email address correctly and that the address you used is, indeed, actually subscribed to that list. For security reasons, Mailman generates the same member options page regardless of whether the address entered is subscribed or not. This means that people cannot use this part of the web interface to find out if someone is subscribed to the list, but it also means that it's hard to tell if you just made a typo.
