The default is the first of each month.  This is done via cron so you might
want to make sure your mailman crontab is setup right.

There is also an option, DEFAULT_SEND_REMINDERS, which you can set to enable
or disable password reminders site-wide.  If that's been set to 0 or the
particular list you admin has password reminders disabled, that could be
another possible reason you didn't get a reminder.

Once you're looking over your mailman crontab, you'll notice that there's a
script in ~mailman/cron called mailpasswds.  You can use it to mail out
reminders.  It takes an optional argument (-l or --listname) that specifies
which list to mail reminders for.  The default is to mail for all lists.
Use --help to get details.
