The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Chad Myslinsky <address@concealed>]

I've started focusing on the subrequest section of sendpasswd.tt2.  My 5.4.3 
only has logic to send passwords while the 6.x appliance only has logic to 
send a confirmation link.  I tried the appliance's sendpasswd.tt2 under 
5.4.3.  The website continued to request a password upon subscribing while 
the email received contained an incomplete URL (one_time_ticket value absent) 
to confirm the subscription.  

Is there a separate configuration elsewhere which determines if the website 
and backend confirm the subscription with a link or password?  Taking a few 
steps, is a confirmation link only subscription even a feature of 5.4.3?

Yes, that's probably the problem: if this template had been modified, then it 
still contains the previous text which inserted the password. If you need a 
custom tempalte, have a look at the default you'll find in the 
"default/mail_tt2" directory.

You can modify the approprate template file in mail_tt2 to change the 
behavior of the confirmation e-mails.

I'm the proud new father of an inherited 5.4.3 installation and am trying to 
clarify behavior seen while subscribing to lists with "Who can subscribe to 
the list (subscribe)" set to "subscription request confirmed (auth)." My 
inherited installation decides it wants to email a password instead of 
emailing a confirmation link. I've been playing around with the 6.1b.1 
appliance which is emailing confirmation links. The Scenario Source is the 
same between both environments so I'm not sure what to investigate next. Is 
there some kind of setting which forces authentication on the website?
