It is the admin or the moderator password for the list. The same one
you use to access the web admin or admindb pages.

Also note that if your MUA (email client) supports it, it is much
better to add Approved: <pw> as an actual message header as opposed to
adding it as the first body line. We attempt to remove the line from
all parts of a multipart/alternative message body, but this doesn't
always work.

I'm not clear on exactly what you are saying here, but I think you are
talking about the msg_footer being added as a separate MIME part. See
