[Mailman-Developers] "Address already exists" when creating users, but it creates a new user anyway

[Andrew Stuart]

In the commands below you can see that I start by getting a list of users, it returns "total_size": 1

I then execute a POST to the REST API multiple times.  Each time it says “Address already exists”, and then getting a list of users says total_size": 2

Is this the way its intended to work or a bug?

thanks
