You can turn off subscription reminders for yourselves from your
personal subscription page (see the link at the bottom of every
post/digest). If there are enough people who don't like it, I can turn
them off globally.
For myself, I either stick with the random one generated by the server
or pick one common one that I don't care whether or not it gets
compromised ... there shouldn't me *that* much sensitive info about you
on the audifans mailman server ...
These are normal messages that were supposed to be sent out by the
server. Random seeming passwords were probably created by the server at
some point ... perhaps as a result of restoring the system after a
crash, or if you were subscribed. I know that there were cases where I
manually subscribed addresses with the NoMail flag set for folks who
were posting from unsubbed addresses. I now use a different mechanism
for that ...
