I'm working my way down the list of email commands. In the manual 
I've found plenty of references to a user's ability to create, change 
or remove his/her password. However, I'm not seeing how, if at all, 
the list maintainer can issue an email command to change a user's 
password. Is it possible? If so, what is the syntax?

I plan to create a form that simultaneously updates the user's 
password in the portal and also send an email command to LISTSERV to 
add or modify the user's password in LISTSERV, thereby making them 
equivalent. It's a little clunky, I know, but I'm doing this because, 
the last time I checked (admittedly four or five years ago), LISTSERV 
could not store passwords in an external database table even though 
it could store other user data in an external database such as MS 
SQL. Therefore, the best I can do is create a means of simultaneously 
updating passwords in the SQL database (for our portal) and in 
LISTSERV's own flat-table database. If it is now possible, as of 
vers. 15.0, to store passwords in an external database, I'd be 
appreciative of knowing that and also of a reference to the proper 
manual. I'd much rather have LISTSERV use the password from my 
portal's database if at all possible.

Thanks,
Steve
