[ZOO-PSC] Request to stop sending mailing list reminders

[Daniel Kastl]

Hi Jeff,

This is a very good proposal. Like Arnulf said, you receive so many of
them, that you don't actually see anymore that the password is written
inside.
I think these mailman reminders have only one convenient aspect: you know
that one month has passed again and you can follow the time zones ;-)
