Hi, When I subscribe the email list in Subscription Policy is confirm, Some problems happen in here: 1.Some mail mua reject send the confirm the message, because the length of recipient is too long. for exmaple: requirements-confirm+9605556e0b35a5da280c1de0d34a3e6f770f8ea5@domain, and the mail mua reject to modify about this.
The default English template says in part:
Before you can start using GNU Mailman at this site, you must first confirm that this is your email address. You can do this by replying to this message.
Or you should include the following line -- and only the following line -- in a message to $request_email:
confirm $token
I.e. It gives an alternative method if reply
doesn't work. You can
provide a custom version of this template with different wording if you
think you can improve it.
2.It is inconvenient for users to use. Many people will mistakenly think that after clicking the subscribe button, it will be successful, and they will not process the email.
If you set Subscription Policy to Confirm, you are saying that the user must confirm that that is their email address. This requires sending an email requesting confirmation to that address. If you don't want that step, you can set Subscription Policy to Open, but then anyone can maliciously subscribe third parties to the list.
Regarding the discussion on the subscription method of the mailing list, should we consider optimizing the subscription method of the mailing list, for example:
- use the method of sending a verification code to subscribe by email,When you receive the verification code sent by the mailing list and fill it in again, you can subscribe successfully。
How is this different from the present method. If you want, you can make a custom template and include something like:
Alternatively, you can confirm by going to the URL
https://www.example.com/mailman3/lists/$list_id/confirm/?token=$token
We don't include that in the default template because Mailman core doesn't know if you even have a web UI or how to access it if you do.
- use the email to send a connection to confirm the subscription,People click the link to be redirected to a confirmation page to subscribe to the email。
See above.
