I don't know if that issue was raised before, I make a search and did not find anything, so here is the problem.

Any visitor that can access a public forum can get a user name, go on login page, click on forgotten password link, type the user name and submit. This will reset the user password and send the new password to the user. This is not a bug but a real pain in you know where...imagine the frustration if you have 1200 users.

I'm running version 7.0 beta 3

If you really wanted to you could add a second check to the forgot password feature, like zipcode or email address, and check against it as well.

You're running an old version Mailman.

For quite a while now the forgotten password feature has asked for both the username and the email address of the user, if the two don't match a new password is not emailed to the user.

I tried to update with the latest version last night and I realize that the database structure is not the same. I did run twice the SQL setup by the past but always loose the entire database. Is ther a step I'm missing or a document I can use to manually create the missing tables/fields because I don't want to loose them again  thanks for your help!

I want to update from 7.0 beta 3 to 7.0 Final SQL

There is no update, you will have to go through the version history file and find all the changes to the database.
