Indeed...that is the well-known and much discussed problem we as mailman
users can't do much about right now (to paraphrase).
It does *need* to be fixed (the administrator of a small list does not want
to get complaints from the members of a much larger list about the monthly
reminders). I haven't looked at the code, so I don't know how hard the fix
would be...but it hasn't been done yet, which is an indication of
non-triviality.
2.0.1 is out (see SourceForge). It was announced in this list and in the
mailman-announce list. Its release notes do not mention fixing the above,
so the problem quite likely isn't fixed in 2.0.1.
