How do I add_members and allocate a password?
For members who do not wish to subscribe through the web interface, what is the way to subscribe them so that they have a password for subsequent login?
Thanks Eric Smith

Thanks Eric Smith When I was managing a Mailman installation, we decided early on to ignore passwords. I had many lists where the subscriber base was taken from our Human Resources Database, and the lists were updated at least once per day. We decided that subscribers did not need to know

Subscribing by email allows specification of a password.
Every list member has a password regardless of how they were subscribed. If they were subscribed by a method that doesn't allow specifying a password or if they just didn't specify one, a random password is assigned, and if the list sends a welcome message, the welcome message contains the password and a link to the user's options page where it can be changed.
