Hello,

I'm looking for a way to send the monthly password reminder message without the member(s) password(s). The list member should only see the name(s) of the subcribed list(s) and the corresponding URL. How can I modify the responsible mailpasswds-Script in /usr/lib/mailman/cron to preventing it from sending the password(s)?

At around line 242 you will see

            try:
                password = mlist.getMemberPassword(member)
            except Errors.NotAMemberError:
                # Here's a member with no passwords, which I think was
                # possible in older versions of Mailman.  Log this and
                # move on.
                syslog('error', 'password-less member %s for list %s',
                       member, mlist.internal_name())
                continue

(although not wrapped). Remove all those lines and replace them with the one line

            password = '****'

or something similar indented the same 16 spaces as the 'try' (don't use tabs). This is the easiest change and will show the passwords as ****. Eliminating the passwords completely is a more complex change.
