I'm not sure what you're asking, but old versions of Mailman used to use
'crypt' or 'md5' to encrypt list admin and moderator passwords and site and
list creator passwords, but it currently uses 'sha'. It will still try
'crypt' and 'md5' on the supplied password if 'sha' doesn't match, and if it
gets a 'crypt' or 'md5' match, it will migrate the encrypted password to
'sha'.

In order to compute 'crypt', 'md5' and 'sha' checksums, it uses the builtin
Python modules.
