Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Daniel (doolyo) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: e-mail command confirmations should be optional Initial Comment: When we send an e-mail to change the member's options with a command (e.g. to subscribe/unsubscribe members), the confirmation of the commands should be optionnal. This is useful particularly if we do a php script that sends the commands automatically from a post field. Then the member doesn't need to see all those e-mail commands. This should be an optional command that would disable these confirmations for the whole list and all commands. www.Sympa.org mailing list does this very well. Thank you.

Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1320890 Ok, thank you for that information, it works now. I understand your concern, and allowing free subscriptions from only certain hosts would be an idea of new feature request. It's my case where it's always the server that send an e-mail to mailman to subscribe people. It is a bit more difficult for people to use my script by spoofing it, and I can prevent more than 3 e-mails per day per IP address if really needed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Mark Sapiro (msapiro) Date: 2005-11-09 01:28 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1123998 I'm moving this to "Feature Requests" as it is not a bug. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Mark Sapiro (msapiro) Date: 2005-11-04 01:24 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1123998 In general, I think this is a bad idea because it allows anyone to subscribe anyone else to a list by spoofing their email address in an email command. If you really want to open up subscribing without confirmation, that feature is already available. Put ALLOW_OPEN_SUBSCRIBE = Yes in mm_cfg.py and lists will have a None option for subscribe_policy which will allow subscribe without confirmation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: moshe weitzman (weitzman) Date: 2005-11-03 14:05 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=199362 I too need this.
