  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Mailman list admin password reset

How do I reset the admin password for specific lists on my server? I have one customer that forgot their admin password.

Thanks

Change Password

Hi,

Use: /var/mailman/bin/change_pw

Do a #cat change_pw | more to read the usage syntax.

Other useful mailman utilities can be found in /var/mailman/bin

While this method works very well, there should be a provision in the Plesk CP to do this. That way, a customer who has forgotten their password can recover or reset it themselves.
 
On my FC4 system this was found in /usr/lib/mailman/bin/. You can use rpm to find the location on your system:

rpm -ql mailman | grep change_pw
 
If you forget your list password for a mailman list in plesk, you can use the following:

Code:
/usr/lib/mailman/bin/change_pw --domain=domain.com --password=password

where domain.com is the domain containing the list and password is your new password.

This will reset the passwords for all lists belonging to a domain.

There is no way to change the password from the Plesk control panel.

 
Thanks for the solution, which I used earlier today. However, it is "all just a little bit ****" that there is no way to do this through the Plesk Panel.
