Let me restate the problem near as I understand it:
Your list sent the users their password per the default
monthly policy. You did not want this to be done so as
to prevent users from being able to unsubscribe. Now
that these users have the password how can you change
their password to prevent them from removing themselves.
As far as I know this is not possible. This is also a
very BAD idea. I run a list where some members are
REQUIRED to be on the list to meet requirements of a
group that exists "outside" of that list. The best way
you can deal with your problem (as I have had to with
both Majordomo and Mailman) is to just be sure you GET
all subscription notices. You will be able to see when
they remove themselves.
As to this being impossible, the mailman web interface
provides a very easy way to have mailman send you your
password and this is not something you can disable per
user.
Allow your users to manage their subscriptions (within
the normal limits of mailman) and keep a watchful eye
out for unsubscribes and punish as allowed by law. ;)
HTH,
Nate
