Mailman still sending mails when `DEVMODE` is on?

Currently, I have been trying to run a working instance of Mailman up and running. I have edited the mailman.cfg
file enabling devmode.
The current output of mailman info
command is the following
Still, after when I created the superuser
and tried to log in after as superuser after hosting up a local instance, it says

This should not be the expected behaviour in devmode right? It should bypass this I believe. Am I missing something here?

New behaviour is observed
- I closed the runners, deactivated the env and exited the terminal.
- I opened a new console, to begin with.
- There when I started the env and wrote
mailman info
it showsdevmode: DISABLED
although the conf file has it enabled.

Because you probably have multiple var/ directories with different var/etc/mailman.cfg files.
When the mailman config for layout is 'here' which is the default, the mailman command uses the var/ directory from the current working directory so if you run the command from a different working directory you will create a new var/ directory with default settings.

devmode in mailman.cfg affects only Mailman Core. That address confirmation email comes from Django. You also have to set DEBUG = True and maybe other things.
