It uses umask, but it sets it to 007 before creating the new file and
restores it afterword, because it specifically doesn't want the file
readable by 'other' as it contains plain text passwords. BTW, 644
isn't good. It should be 664 (umask = 002) to do what you want as
files should be group writable, but it isn't critical in the case of
config.pck because it's always a new file that's written - the old one
is only read.

Only by changing the code in MailList.py.
