After much puzzling, this is solved.

Monthly password reminders are not sent on behalf of a specific list
even if the remindee is only a member of one list. Therefore, list
specific (and for implementation reasons, domain specific)
cronpass.txt templates don't work.

An edited cronpass.txt must be in
templates/site//cronpass.txt.

Did you put it in the existing 'lists/listname/en' directory of your
Mailman installation which may not be
/usr/local/mailman/lists//en?

Is this an English language list?

Did you refer to the FAQ for other locations you might want to put the
edited template to make it domain or site wide?

Done, including sudo bin/mailmanctl restart, but unfortunately my  
list-specific cronpass.txt does not override the standard :-(

If you edited the file in-place, then when you do your next upgrade, 
that template will get replaced.

If you copy it to a list-specific subdirectory (as I suggested), then 
it won't get replaced as part of the next upgrade.

FAQ 4.48 at 
 
has more information about editing the templates and what you need to 
do in order to get them to be picked up.

Oops...

I take it thats the way you should do it for any of them?

I edited the 'postheld.txt' template in the templates/en directory, 
instead of copying it to the list subdir.

It works, and I did want the change for all lists - but it is good to 
know how to do a custom one for an individual list if I need to...

Thanks for the tip...

It's a template stored in /usr/local/mailman/templates/en/, which you 
can copy to /usr/local/mailman/lists//en/, and then edit it 
locally in that directory.

If you don't have privileged site admin access to the server where 
Mailman is installed and running, then you'll need to ask your site 
admin to do this on your behalf.
