Privacy preferences changed automatically

Can anyone suggest why my settings on a number of my lists would have changed seemingly by themselves? Most of my lists are set for "Confirm" under the privacy settings, but several changed a couple of days ago to "Confirm and Approve." It happened once before, several months ago, also. I changed them back, and the settings are seeming to hold for now, but I don't understand why this would have changed on its own. Happened to at least five of my lists, all on the same day and probably at the same time.

Simplifying management of multiple list subscriptions for users on same domain
by Ricardo Scachetti Pereira 02 May '06

02 May '06

Dear List, I'm running a number of mailing lists on a single domain and I was wondering whether there is any way to make it simpler to the user to manage multiple subscriptions. I am aware of the "Change globally" and "Set globally" check boxes for email, real name, password, email distribution, etc. Those are a great help. But I would like to simplify some other tasks, such as: - Let users sign up for more than one list at a time. - Let users go from the subscription management page on one list to another (using the "List my other subscriptions" button) without having to type the password again (given that the passwords are the same)? I browsed the list admin options, googled, searched the mailing lists and the FAQ and couldn't find what I wanted. Any help is greatly appreciated. Best regards, Ricardo

Missing Unsubscription Requests
by Edward Muller 02 May '06

02 May '06

I am hosting a list (running on 2.1.7) that is missing unsubscription requests on the 'admindb' page. The list is configured to have moderated unsubscription requests, so people don't have to confirm their unsubscriptions, which seems to cause a lot of problems. I know the unsubscription request was made because: a) they show up in the 'vette' log b) Some people are sending angry emails to the return address of the list. But those people are still on the list, the list admin (who I know personally) has told me they haven't discarded them, and the unsubscription requests don't show up on the 'admindb' page. I don't mean that all unsubscription requests don't show up, some do. I've looked over the error logs, which do have some errors, but nothing related to unsubscription requests. Any help in debugging this? -- Edward Muller Interlix, LLC
