I don't even like it that your (CentOS's) monthly reminder to me is sent with password unencrypted... and I am the only user here. If I could post my public key and have that monthly reminder encrypted, I'd do it.
You can turn it off in your preferences for the list in mailman: http://lists.centos.org/mailman/options/centos
I know. Just haven't gotten around to it.
access to emails being sent to that address, its sort of academic getting the passwd anyway ( click on forgot passwd, new passwd emailed out ...etc )
Well, it's too bad that we can't make all access via SS* w/no passwords required. But a new one-time-only-use password (IOW, it must be changed on first use and w/i a specified time interval) isn't too bad.
We didn't write mailman ... nor did we write the probe e-mail that it sends.
I *know* that. It was not a personal or project attack. But the answer to my concern that was posted (it is sent to... so... <equiv to everything's probably OK>) got one of my feet on the soap box. :-( Didn't mean to seem critical.
All that not withstanding, I believe we can't be to relaxed about security and even *dumb* concerns (as mine might be) are worth noting or discussing.
