 * A client currently uses the Mailman service and the new website is being built
   in WordPress. He is concerned that under the FAQ it is noted that the admin password
   must be stored as plain text. His site has had several hack attempts and he is
   apprehensive about using the widget. However, this would be the most effective
   route at this point since he has a history with the Mailman service.
 * Has the security issue with the admin password been resolved?
 * Many thanks for your time!
