I think that it is important for this to be controlled an administrative list policy setting. When someone logs in using BrowserID, for example, and then subscribes to a new mailing list, the subscription can be marked as "email confirmed". But if they simply enter an email address on a form, the website need to be able to trigger the issuance of a "request subscription confirmation" email.
What does "subscribe as an anonymous user" actually mean? Do you mean, without a user account on Postorius? It makes no sense to me in the context of the core, because subscribing is the very act of providing an email address, which de-anonymizes you. Now, it may make sense to support a subscribe-without-email-confirmation step, but I think that should not be an exposed workflow for end users. To much potential for spam. A valid use case for non-confirmation subscriptions might be: Alice manages a team at work and wants to run a mailing list for all of her team members. Bob joins the team, so Alice wants to subscribe him; since he's a direct report, she doesn't need nor want him to confirm his email. This can be handled in a number of ways, using the general roster API. mm3 currently supports setting a message's recipients via flat file, so that might be one way. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is the registrant for Postorius. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1006345 Title: Anonymous subscription via confirmation email To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/1006345/+subscriptions
