No, you can't remove passwords, but you can set everyone's password to,
for example, a single letter.
You would do this with withlist. The following is an example of a
withlist session that would set everyone's password to the letter p.
bin/withlist -l example
Loading list example (locked)
The variable `m' is the example MailList instance
>>> for member in m.getMembers():
... m.setMemberPassword(member, 'p')
... (at this prompt, type <CR> only)
>>>m.Save()
>>> (at this prompt, enter control-D)
Unlocking (but not saving) list: example
Finalizing
Note that there is a more elaborate reset_pw.py withlist script in
Mailman's bin directory. It gives everyone a new, random password. You
could modify it by changing the line
randompw = Utils.MakeRandomPassword()
to for example
randompw = 'p'
and run it via
bin/withlist -l -r reset_pw listname

Set
OWNERS_CAN_ENABLE_PERSONALIZATION = Yes
in mm_cfg.py
Then in the admin interface set Non-digest options->personalize to Yes
and follow the (Details for personalize) link to see the additional
substitutions that are available when the list is personalized.
