[Bug 1425359] Re: 500 error code shown by postorius instead of 409 error code

[Ankush Sharma]

** Description changed:

  When a new mailman subscriber is created with the email of an already
  existing mailman subscriber or user a `409` code with a message `user
  already exists` is returned by the postorius but when the same email but
  now case sensitive is used a `500` code with message `server error code`
  is returned.
  
  The latter should also return a `409` instead of `500` as it is
  misleading.
