[Bug 812227] [NEW] "Unsubscribe or edit options" accepts all E-mail addresses (including non-existing ones).

Public bug reported: If you go to http://mail.perl.org.il/mailman/listinfo/perl , one can see that one can enter any E-mail address in the "Unsubscribe or edit options" text box + button, and it will take you to: http://mail.perl.org.il/mailman/options/perl . This includes E-mail addresses that aren't subscribed to the mailing list or those that don't exist at all such as "shlomi.fish@lambda-calculus.net.il" or "belated@belated.belated". This is misleading. If you have several E-mail addresses, then it will be much harder to know which one you're subscribed to there and to unsubscribe or change your options. So it's a usability problem. ** 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/812227 Title: "Unsubscribe or edit options" accepts all E-mail addresses (including non-existing ones).

This is not a bug. You will note on the page at <http://mail.perl.org.il/mailman/listinfo/perl> that "(The subscribers list is only available to the list administrator.) " On lists with a non-public roster, we intentionally do not reveal whether or not an email address is a list member to prevent using negative/affirmative responses to fish for list membership. ** Changed in: mailman Status: New => Invalid ** Changed in: mailman Assignee: (unassigned) => Mark Sapiro (msapiro) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/812227 Title: "Unsubscribe or edit options" accepts all E-mail addresses (including non-existing ones).
