I have had some trouble with uwsgi, now resolved. Not that there may be any connection, but now, email requests to join are sent a confirmation mail, but the webui just signs you up with no confirmation despite having the subscription policy set to Confirm, and the right code in the database table underneath.
Is this a web subscribe for a logged in user or and "anonymous subscribe" for a non-logged in user or both?
I have done some further investigation. With subscribe policy 'confirm':
A person without an account can subscribe to a list anonymously. The person is sent an email requesting confirmation of her address and intent to subscribe. Replying to the email confirms the address and subscribes it.
A person can sign up for an account with an email address. This results in an email request to the address with a link to confirm it. Following the link and confirming the address then creates the account with the confirmed address. Subsequently, the user can log in and subscribe to the list without further confirmation because the user has already confirmed the address and has logged in, so further confirmation is not required.
If subscribe policy is 'moderate', both of the above cases send the request to the moderator for approval.
I think this behavior, particularly allowing a logged in user with a confirmed address to subscribe without further confirmation, is reasonable.
Is this what you see, or are you seeing something else.
