domain.
Replace listname with the name of the mailing list.
The subject and body of the message are ignored.
3 Follow the directions in the conrmation mail.
Unsubscribing from a Mailing List Via Web
Unsubscribing from a mailing list via the web is similar to subscribing to a mailing
list via the web. Depending on the list’s settings, you might need to conrm your
subscription removal or wait for moderator response.

Setting and Changing Your Mailing List Password
You use your mailing list password to alter preferences for a list. The password should
not be one that you use for other purposes because it is sent in plain text as a
reminder periodically from the lists you are subscribed to.
To set or change your password:
1 In a web browser, enter the URL of the list information page.
This is usually server.domain.tld/mailman/listinfo/listname.
2 In the Subscriber section of the web page, enter your mail address and click
Unsubscribe Or Edit Options.
3 Enter your password, and click Log In.
This is not your user password. If you subscribed using the web interface, you chose
a list password. If you subscribed via mail or were subscribed via Server Admin, your
password is blank.
4 Find the password section of the subscription page.
