pgAdmin doesn't authenticate the passwords, PostgreSQL does (it wouldn't
be a very secure system if any old bit of client software could
authenticate a user :-) ).
Check $PGDATA/pg_hba.conf on the server - it sounds like there is a
'trust' entry in there that is allowing you to connect.

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
