[SAC] Fwd: passwords being sent in clear text

[Paul Ramsey]

Do you guys get a lot of these? This is just mailman being mailman,
but it's the second irate "you have a security problem" mail I've
gotten in just a couple months.

I just got a "reminder" email from mailman-owner at lists.osgeo.org about
my subscription information. You are listed on the website as the
maintainer. The reminder e-mail contains my e-mail address and
listserv password sent in clear text. It even contains the word
"password" which is one of the first things a packet sniffing cracker
would filter on. This is clearly a security issue. Please fix this.
