Prevent users from changing email address
Is it possible to configure mailman so that it is not possible for users to change their email address, e.g. disabling the option and including the service desk contact information instead?

Had you not just recently posted to this list with a Mailman 3 question, I would assume this is a Mailman 2.1 question.
Please post Mailman 3 questions to mailman-users@mailman3.org <https://lists.mailman3.org/mailman3/lists/mailman-users@mailman3.org/>
Anyway, the answer for either Mailman is "not without modifying the code".

What will prevent users from unsubscribing with the old address and resubscribing with the new address?

I'll have to trust Mark that it requires code changes.
But if a list's subscribe_policy and unsubscribe_policy require approval, I would expect that changing an existing address would end up on the moderator's desk, too. I'd call that a defect. WDOT?

You can configure Mailman 2 so that both subscription and unsubscription require administrator approval. If this is a Mailman 3 question as Mark suggests, I believe that is still true.
To Kiffen: isn't that better than sending the user to a page that requires them to go to the service desk and enter a ticket?
