1) Yes, please turn the reminders off.

> Since Mailman has the ability to do on-demand requests for password reset and subscription information for each mailing list, there is an alternative method to the current bulk sending of subscription information that the community can use.


2) If there is an easy way to obtain a list which mailing lists I’m currently subscribed to (beyond looking for the last password reminder mail), it is not documented very well.  Since mailman often drops subscribers after bouts of bounces, it is occasionally useful to compare that list to what you think it should be when such bouts end.
