Every month I get an email from MailMan list's I am currently subscribed to & in this email there is a field that shows as follows:
List Password // URL
staff@mydomain.tld vipidimi https://mail.mydomain.tld/mailman/options/ctia/carlos%40mydomain.tld
Can someone tell me if there is a way to disable the plain text email of passwords via the MailMan system? I don't think those passwords are for 'Administrative' login sessions of lists so I really don't understand their purpose. Can anyone tell me what they are used for and how can I disable them from the reminder email?
These are reminders to the list members of their list member passwords. This is the password that a list member can use to authenticate for her own user options page (at the given URL) and for private archive access and for access to the list roster if it is available to list members.
The admin can use the list admin password for this, but if the admin is a list member, the list membership has its own password which is not the admin password.
The reminder email can be disabled in three ways.
The user can disable her individual reminder on her user options page.
The list admin can disable all monthly reminders for the list regardless of user settings by setting General Options -> send_reminders to No.
The site admin can disable monthly reminders for all lists by removing cron/mailpasswds from Mailman's crontab.
