Hi all, I wonder if mass subscribe should be exempted from the ban list check, what do you all think? It would be convenient for me, as students often change or add personal addresses, and I have to do an unban, subscribe, reban dance. (See my use case below.)

I'm a little surprised that this works, actually, since the mass subscribe function is *also* prevented from subscribing banned addresses. Apparently the ban check is just a little bit after where mass subscribe comes in, but earlier in the chain than the moderation hold and dance. Which makes sense, since to point of a ban is to save the moderator work! > yes, you can have subscription requests and subscriptions from a > banned email address, those addresses just can't start the process. It has to work this way for the subscriptions. For example, my advisee lists got hit by subscription spam a while back. Since I know who the students are and mass subscribe them every year in April (beginning of our academic year), I just hit the spammers with DISCARD ^. ;-) (The smiley is not part of the regexp. :-) If that caused existing subscriptions to be invalidated, it would be a big problem. _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list -- mailman-developers@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to mailman-developers-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/mailman-developers.python.org/ Mailman FAQ: https://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: https://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
