This is a reminder, sent out once a month, about your lists.archlinux.org mailing list memberships. It includes your subscription info and how to use it to change it or unsubscribe from a list.
You can visit the URLs to change your membership status or configuration, including unsubscribing, setting digest-style delivery or disabling delivery altogether (e.g., for a vacation), and so on.
In addition to the URL interfaces, you can also use email to make such changes. For more info, send a message to the '-request' address of the list (for example, mailman-request@lists.archlinux.org) containing just the word 'help' in the message body, and an email message will be sent to you with instructions.
If you have questions, problems, comments, etc, send them to mailman-owner@lists.archlinux.org. Thanks!

This is a standard mailman message - maybe they changed the setting lately? Anyways, you can turn it off for yourself in the mailinglist settings.

Nope, no action required as far as I'm aware. Florian -- http://www.the-compiler.org | me@the-compiler.org (Mail/XMPP) GPG 0xFD55A072 | http://the-compiler.org/pubkey.asc I love long mails! | http://email.is-not-s.ms/

I moved mailman to a new server and it looks like the old one never ran mailman cronjobs (the new one does). That said, yes it is a standard message and it defaults to being enabled, but since nobody complained before we've disabled it again for our lists.

I welcome a monthly reminder.

I noticed the message contain the password in plain text. Is this possible to be removed? Thanks, Leonidas --

I think that's the default mailman behaviour and can't be changed. To quote the subscription page: *Do not use a valuable password* as it will occasionally be emailed back to you in cleartext. Just use some random-generated password. You'll easily be able to request it back if needed. ;) Florian -- http://www.the-compiler.org | me@the-compiler.org (Mail/XMPP) GPG 0xFD55A072 | http://the-compiler.org/pubkey.asc I love long mails! | http://email.is-not-s.ms/

Even if it's removed, it means that mailman stores passwords in plain text, which is a bad thing. Regards, Marcel

That's an age-old issue with Mailman and will finally be remedied with Mailman version 3.x. --byte
