[Mailman-Users] Password Reminders

There is also a per-list option, which I believe controls this. (I haven't
actually experimented to make sure it works as I expect it to, though!).

On the list's General Options page, a little more than half way down,
you'll find "Send monthly password reminders or no?".

So you ought to be able to turn this off only for lists where it's
inappropriate, but leave it on (leave the cron job on!) for lists
where it is appropriate.
