Hi Amir, Thanks indeed for the upgrade, something I also think that was highly needed from a security perspective, so a good thing.
One thing I did notice with my list being migrated is that we had some lists of non-members being able to post and also some blocked users. I don't find them back in the settings under message acceptance, but I find them in the users section under non members. I find this a bit strange. First of all you really need to go into the user itself before you see if it is a user you allow as non-member, or that it is a user marked to automatically discard. Secondly due to that when an account is created on that e-mail, you see the lists you are a non-member of. You fortunately can't see why you are a non-member, but it seems a small data-leak to me. Will the old fields to filter users under settings/message acceptance still work, or will those users automatically converted to non-members? As an admin that will be difficult to manage, and it would be at least needed to be able to filter on the set action so you can see what is what. Also I don't think the interface should show you the lists you are a non-member of. Any thoughts from others on this?
