The easiest way to do this, although not the prettiest would be to
change the lines
# treates [EMAIL PROTECTED] the same as [EMAIL PROTECTED]
try:
password = mlist.getMemberPassword(member)
except Errors.NotAMemberError:
# Here's a member with no passwords, which I think
was
# possible in older versions of Mailman. Log this
and
# move on.
syslog('error', 'password-less member %s for list
%s',
member, mlist.internal_name())
continue
optionsurl = mlist.GetOptionsURL(member)
(lines 152-162 in cron/mailpasswds) to
# treates [EMAIL PROTECTED] the same as [EMAIL PROTECTED]
password = 'password elided'
optionsurl = mlist.GetOptionsURL(member)
or some such.
You may also wish to make an edited version of the cronpass.txt
template that explains what's going on, but note this must be a 'site'
template as monthly password reminders don't come from a list. See
<http://wiki.list.org/x/jYA9>.
