This is standard practice for the Mailman list server software. There is an option to disable the sending of monthly reminders.
You absolutely should *not* be using any password you care about (ie. one that you use elsewhere) for mailing lists or any other source that is not completely trusted or in your control. There are a number of reasons, such as: a) the password is not encrypted, b) it is available to anyone who manages the mailing list, c) the password is stored/sent in clear text. Any compromise gives additional information to others about attacking your sites/services/hosts/etc. > Call me paranoid The threat is real, so this is not paranoia - but using the same password on many sites increases your risks, not reduces them, so your fears are well-founded, but preventable. -- MrC _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
