Public bug reported: At the moment it is difficult for a user to find out which lists they have been subscribed to. With sensible list owners this would not be a problem, but if list owners silently subscribe people to a list without asking then a person can find themselves receiving mail for lists they did not know they were on.
I can see two possible interfaces for this: 1) A search form on e.g. http://example.com/mailman/listinfo that allows a user to type in their email address and request a search for lists that they are subscribed to. For security reasons this would forward them an email with a confirmation code. Responding with the correct code would perform the search. 2) Sending an email to e.g. [email protected] would automatically respond with the lists the sender's email address is subscribed to. Obviously this does not stop rogue admins continuing to add email lists and silently subscribe people to them, but it does make it easy for a user to find and unsubscribe themselves. This proposal does not intend to combat spam because there are much easier ways of sending spam than setting up mailman :-) Thanks in advance, Paul ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1517712 Title: Web or email interface to show all lists an address is subscribe to.
