Hi [email protected]
Summary:
- Is below normal for mailman-2.1.39 ?
- Or do I have a corrupted script ?
- Is better error handling possible ?

If a user who is not subscribed to a list tries to unsubscribe (perhaps
he's not sure if he has yet unsubed all in various changes), 

Example:
        http://mailman.berklix.org/mailman/listinfo/test
        scroll to end "To unsubscribe"
        Type [email protected]
        Click unsubscribe

Receive:
        http://mailman.berklix.org/mailman/options/test
        Internal Server Error

        The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration
        and was unable to complete your request.

        Please contact the server administrator at [email protected]
        to inform them of the time this error occurred, and the
        actions you performed just before this error.

        More information about this error may be available in the
        server error log.

/var/log/httpd-error.log:
        [cgi:error] [pid 7888] [client browser_home_ip_number:57904] End
        of script output before headers: options, referer:
        http://mailman.berklix.org/mailman/listinfo/test

It would be nicer to see:       "Your email address is not subscribed"
that would save time for user, list & httpd owners.

Is the nasty error message to hinder malicious flood probers trying
variant addresses eg @target.com to see who may be subscribed
[then probed elsewhere] ?  Adding a few seconds 'man 3 sleep' would
hinder robots.

Cheers,
