First of all, the template for monthly reminders is cronpass.txt, not userpass.txt. userpass.txt is for 'on demand' reminders, but that isn't the only issue. A second issue is list specific templates do not go in templates/lists/<listname>/<lc>/. They go in a language (en or whatever) directory in the already existing lists/<listname> directory (the directory that contains config.pck), but there is yet another issue. Monthly password reminders are sent from the site (mailman) list. A single reminder message includes passwords for all lists with the same host_name to which the recipient is subscribed with reminders enabled. Thus, the template is processed without a list context, and a customized cronpass.txt template placed in a list directory will not be consulted. You have to put it in templates/site/en/cronpass.txt or templates/<host_name>/en/cronpass.txt, and it will apply to reminders for all lists or all lists with that host_name.
