[OSGeo-Discuss] Mailmain password reminders

[Barry Rowlingson]

Mailman has a bunch of useful command-line scripts:

I reckon a combination of "list_lists" looped over, calling
'config_list' with a file to set the password reminder parameter will
do it.

Be happy you aren't using majordomo for list management, you'd
probably have to do this by sending emails.
