cron/mailpasswds gets it's user data from the `passwords' entry of a
list, while it's really the `members' (combined with the
`user_options') entry that says whether someone will get mail from the
list.

If an address somehow is present in `passwords', but not in `members',
the result would be as you describe.  I think you'd have to tweak the
list's config.db by hand (e.g. using bin/withlist) to fix this.

I wonder whether such inconsistencies could be caused by the
mixed-case-address bug which I _think_ was still in there in 1.0b8...

Anyway, I guess all of this will be redone after 1.0 with the user
object database and all.
