This has occurred again. A person sends an email to listname-subscribe@listdomain and the subscription policy of said list is set to moderate only. Instead of honoring this, a confirmation email is sent out.
The issue is that when a request is received to subscribe an address to a list and that address is not verified and the pre_verified flag is not set in the request, the user is sent a confirmation request. This is not a request to confirm the subscription request, but rather a request to confirm the address, however they use the same template so they are indistinguishable.
We probably should check the subscription policy and not send this request if the policy is moderate. We should also ignore a pending request if the policy is moderate per <https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/issues/789>.
