In my test of the two forms of signup, I am getting these unexpected results. Is it my settings or is something weird within the program itself?
https://list.tokyoprogressive.org/postorius/lists/discuss.list.tokyoprogress...
Choose "You can also subscribe without creating an account. If you wish to do so, please use the form below"
Then I have to approve it. They get "Welcome to the "Discuss" mailing list! To post to this list, send your email to: discuss@list.tokyoprogressive.org
But I have to approve it.I assume this is because they do not yet have a real account. And they should be listed as a NON MEMBER?
But even when they sign up here: https://list.tokyoprogressive.org/accounts/signup/?next=%2Fpostorius%2Flists... they get an email from my provider (NOT MY LIST????) as follows:
"Hello from mailman3.emwd.com! You're receiving this e-mail because user iCloud has given yours as an e-mail address to connect their account. To confirm this is correct, go to https://list.tokyoprogressive.org/accounts/confirm-email/MTE3:1iA44k:E7w7xhy... Thank you from mailman3.emwd.com! mailman3.emwd.com"
- And this is where it gets weird. If they send from their email program and get the welcome (Welcome to the "Discuss" mailing list! To post to this list, send your email to: discuss@list.tokyoprogressive.org You can unsubscribe or make adjustments to your options via email by sending a message to....... I then get a notice:
"Your mail to 'discuss@list.tokyoprogressive.org' with the subject test notice Is being held until the list moderator can review it for approval. The message is being held because: The message is not from a list member"
While if they send FROM THE interface it goes through.
What I am confused about.
Signing up for an account should make them a member, right? Subscribing should make them a non member, no? But here it seems that both make them a non member. And worse, someone with an account sending from the Interface has their message get through while the same person sending from an email program has me get a notice that a non member is trying to post.
Before I can move my actual members over from another mailing list provider, I want to make sure what works and what doesn't.
Thanks.
