We obviously comment out this cron job. We have over 4,200 mailing lists and 
over 854,100 subscribers. If password reminders are sent out all subscribers at 
5AM on the first of each month, this will be heavy email burden to our  mailman 
servers.

# 5 AM on the first of each month, mail out password reminders.
#0 5 1 * * /usr/bin/python -S /usr/local/mailman/cron/mailpasswds

Thanks,

That setting only affects the default value of send_reminders (Send monthly 
password reminders?) for lists created after you make the change.

If only one list has send_reminders = Yes, the members of that one list who 
have their own "Get password reminder email for this list?" set to Yes will 
receive a monthly reminder for that list only.

I.e., as long as cron/mailpasswds is being run monthly a user will receive a 
monthly reminder which includes the options page link and password for each 
list in the domain of which she is a member for which both the list's 
send_reminders = Yes and the her "Get password reminder email for this list?" = 
Yes and only those lists, unless there are no such lists in which case no 
reminder is sent.

So if your question is will this reminder include the list name but not the 
password (or the list name and password) for lists of which she is a member but 
for which send_reminders = No, the answer is No. Lists for which send_reminders 
= No will not be mentioned in any way in the monthly reminder email.
