Anyone who has access to the Web (probably the great majority of
subscribers) can have their password mailed via the Web form.  I'd suggest
just turning off the reminders.  If the password were included in the
response to a "help" command, then there would be no need at all for the
reminders.

The way majordomo deals with this is that if the token appears anywhere in
the subject, a new one doesn't get added.  If you changed one of the lists
to majordomo, the growth would probably stop with at most three tokens. :)
