When you subscribe a list of addresses, either with web admin Mass
Subscription or with command line tools such as add_members or
sync_members, Mailman generates a random password for each new member.

If you select the option to send the list welcome message to the new
members, the welcome message will inform them of the password and the
URL of their options page.
