Wouldn't it be easier to not allow changes? At subscription time, the list options are selected by the user. If the user wants to change them, they unsuscribe, and resubscribe with the new options they want. No need for any outside confirmation of who is subscribing. > I think thats an odd way of looking at it.

I think email spam is a dying mode, probably because it gets so little response. Or maybe the tools to deal with it have become so good I rarely see it. Most of the spam I see now is on social media. > There also is security for each account... just as much security as > the provider you choose to login with has.

So the level of security is not very important, except for the threat of spam to the list itself if it is compromised. Using a low trust account under that scenario makes sense. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
