On a list the email address for the list owner was changed.
How?
1. When logging on to admin/listname the old owner run by address is shown on
the Administrator Authentication page.
Sounds like a page cached in a proxy.
2. Clicking on the run by address in the Administrator Authentication page
causes the old address to be passed to mail program.
The target address of the mailto: link is listname-owner at example.com
regardless of who the owner is.
3. On the Mailing list general options page the new owners run by address is
shown.
What is in the owner box on this page?
4 Clicking on the run by address in Mailing list general options page causes

What do you mean by the old address? The address should be
listname-owner at example.com (with appropriate listname and domain) in
all cases. Changing 'owner' changes the displayed text for the mailto:
link and it changes the address to which Mailman ultimately delivers
listname-owner email, but it doesn't change the target of the mailto:
link.
5. All other pages are as 1 & 2 unless they are reloaded. Following reload
they behave as 3&4.
6. After logout state 5 is again applicable.
Still sounds like cached pages (outside Mailman), although why cache
wouldn't be permanently refreshed on a reload, I don't know.
