I trying to find out if mailman uses the md5 checksum or this has to be set up with the installation. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I have not been able to find it so far.
I'm not sure what you're asking, ...
It occurs to me that what you are asking is if Mailman stores passwords in encrypted form.
The answer is yes (but using sha, not md5) for site, list creator, list admin and list moderator passwords.
The answer is no for list member passwords in current Mailman, but this will change in Mailman 3.0.
It would be complicated to change Mailman 2.1 to encrypt list member passwords because the periodic and on-demand password reminder would have to be replaced with an on-demand password reset or something similar.
