Well, first of all, and speaking purely as an Information Security specialist and fellow mainframer, I would recommend you find the person who requested your password and beat them senseless with a full box of 80-column cards (unpunched, so that they have their full weight and heft).
My system does request a password for IBM-MAIN (and RACF-L as well) and gives the option of storing it in a cookie. It's been doing this for me for yonks, so my only guess here is that someone tried to go into your Listserv account to post something on IBM-MAIN without your knowledge or consent (see above for remedy). Hope this helps. Many thanks. Doc Farmer Senior Security Specialist InfoSec, Inc.
