Hi, This will simply stop you from receiving the plain text password. As I have mentioned several times in private mails, the version of Mailman that we use is not capable of hashing passwords (at least out of the box, iirc). The upcoming version 3 was an overhaul which should address this problem. That said, it is clearly stated when you subscribe to the list that you should not use an important password as it will be mailed back to you etc.
My advice is to generate a simple unique password, and set your mail preferences to not email them back to you, as well as to change your password if this all comes as a surprise to you. Also, to sign your emails with GPG/GNUPG if you require accountability and are concerned that someone sniffed your password from your email. But we do sent and receive mail via TLS, when possible, so the odds of the mail being intercepted and sniffed are relatively low. I hope this helps! I believe that mailman 3 is finally in the ports tree, but when we will actually use it, who knows.
