Re: [Savannah-users] delete or recover email list admin pass

    I created an email list for my project but didn't use it much.

Do you want to just disable the list (themnemeproject-general I assume)
entirely?

    I'm no longer able to recover my password.  

It's not possible to recover the list administrator password, anyway,
only the password as a subscriber.

I'll reset the admin pw and send you separate email with it.

    It says my email isn't valid.

Baffled by that.

    The reason I ask is I just received a request to moderate some spam
    somebody posted to it.

Not to worry, it's already been deleted.  By default, mailing lists
created through savannah, including yours I see, are set up to use an
antispam system that deletes junk asychronously
(http://listhelper.nongnu.org).  So you don't need to worry about
messages telling you about spam.  Personally, I filter them with a
procmail pattern like this:
^Subject: confirm [a-f0-9]{40}

Alternatively, if you don't want to get the "immediate" notifications at
all, we can use a placeholder address for the administrator -- you'd
still be able to log in to mailman and do whatever with the list, if you
want to keep it.

Best,
Karl
