<h2><a name="SECTION002630000000000000000">
6.3 How do I turn password reminders on or off? (reminders option)</a>
</h2>
If you don't wish to the reminder email including your password every month, 
you can disable it from the member options page.  (You can always get the
password mailed out when you actually want it.  See 
Section&nbsp;<a href="node16.html#sec:getpassword">6.1</a> for instructions.)

<p>
Using the web interface:

<ol>
<li>Log in to your member options page.  (See Section&nbsp;<a href="node9.html#sec:web">3.1</a> for 
	instructions on how to do this.)
</li>
<li>Look for the section marked "Get password reminder email for this
	list?" and change the value accordingly.
</li>
</ol>

<p>
This can also be changed for multiple lists at the same time if you are subscribed to 
more than one list on the same domain.  See Section&nbsp;<a href="node34.html#sec:global">10.1</a> for 
information about changing settings globally.

<p>
Using the email interface:

<ol>
<li>Send a mail to <span class="email">LISTNAME-request@DOMAIN</span> with the command
   <var>set&nbsp;reminders&nbsp;on</var> or <var>set&nbsp;reminders&nbsp;off</var>.

<p>
Commands can appear
   in either the body or the subject of the message.  (See
   Section&nbsp;<a href="node10.html#sec:email">3.2</a> for more information about sending mail
   commands.)
</li>
<li>Set it to "on" to receive reminders, and "off" to stop receiving
	reminders.
</li>
</ol>
