This is what is recommended by mailman when you subscribe:

---
You may enter a privacy password below. This provides only mild 
security, but should prevent others from messing with your subscription. 
Do not use a valuable password as it will occasionally be emailed back 
to you in cleartext.

If you choose not to enter a password, one will be automatically 
generated for you, and it will be sent to you once you've confirmed your 
subscription. You can always request a mail-back of your password when 
you edit your personal options. Once a month, your password will be 
emailed to you as a reminder.

kind regards
