Are you running the Web server on the same system as the email services?
I ran into some problems a while back where the Web server didn't have 
the Python crypt module installed, but the mail server did.  The upshot
was that Mailman used crypt() to create passwords on the mail server, 
but then couldn't authenticate against them on the Web server.  :)

What is USE_CRYPT set to in mm_cfg.py (or is it just the default)?
