Jon,
Thanks for the response. I would tend to agree with you, but this client is particularly insistent on setting it up this way. Perhaps people on the list could help me by providing some fodder to argue why there should be a confirmation e-mail. I've tried saying that people could be maliciously signed up for a list they never wanted to be on, but they don't seem to think that is really an issue. Are there other reasons I can provide? Even the smallest things could be useful.
I haven't tried this, but looking at Defaults.py for 2.1.4, I see:
# SUBSCRIBE POLICY # 0 - open list (only when ALLOW_OPEN_SUBSCRIBE is set to 1) ** # 1 - confirmation required for subscribes # 2 - admin approval required for subscribes # 3 - both confirmation and admin approval required # # ** please do not choose option 0 if you are not allowing open # subscribes (next variable) DEFAULT_SUBSCRIBE_POLICY = 1
# Does this site allow completely unchecked subscriptions? ALLOW_OPEN_SUBSCRIBE = No
Perhaps settings of 0 and Yes will get you the behavior you're seeking, though I agree with others that it's a Bad Idea(tm).
