The Owner=<LIST> hack is pretty slick and I wish I'd known about it some time ago!

The most efficient way I've found of changing header information en masse ad hoc etc cetera is to write a little script to pop me open multiple tabs with each list set to manual configuration, then tab through the tabs* once to make and submit the edit, then again to check and reload each tab to double-check it.

*like tiptoeing through the tulips, but different

The subscriber may change their subscribed address for all lists by sending a CHANGE command like this:
� change * newaddr
�It must be sent from the currently-subscribed address and results in an OK confirmation request being sent back to that address.

A POSTMASTER may use this version to affect the subscribed address in all lists, a List Owner may affect all lists they own:
�change * oldaddr newaddr

There is no simple way to change settings in multiple list header files, such as an owner address - unless you plan for this ahead of time.� One way is to specify a LIST as Owner= in the header files of the lists, then you can change the effective owner of of them all by changing the subscribers of the specified list.� Another way is to use keyword files and the .IK directive in the header files, but this requires direct file system access to the server, there isn't a web interface method to update a keyword file, so far as I know.
