Hi

Pr. default, Mailman tries to use crypt if it is
available, and if not, it uses md5. Fine. If an
installation is using a python without crypt
capability, mailman will be using md5, but if the
python installation is changed and now supports crypt,
mailman fails do validate any passwords.

Suggestion: store the encryption method together with
the crypted password, so that multiple encryption
methods can be used at once.

    MM2.1 never uses crypt or md5 -- it always uses sha.
