Okay, maybe the subject is inflammatory/misleading :-) I have a situation which is a little confusing on a server where I run Mailman. The subscription model is "confirm & approve"
When I check the MTA's queue, I find hundreds of mail destined to certain addresses, and one address could have 10 or more same mail destined to it. I cleared the queue before checking the contents of these e-mails, but I assume they were those 'confirm your subscription' ones to these addresses, because I can see the addresses in in Mailman's subscribe logfile. Now this got me thinking: Once one has submitted a subscription request and Mailman has dispatched the 'confirm' email, shouldn't mailman decline any further subscription requests from the same address if they decide to submit such, and as such shouldn't send any other confirm/verification requests as long as there is one still pending?? I am talking about a situation leading to a subscribe logfile like the one at: http://bit.ly/2iFv5vi Might I be missing something in my list configuration??? -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254 7 3200 0004/+254 7 2274 3223 "Oh, the cruft." ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
