The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Pat Allen <address@concealed>]

Hi everyone,

I've upgraded out production server to 6.2.24 and this is becoming an issue. 
Can anyone tell me if this behavior is by design or if this is a bug? (I 
can't find anything on the bug tracker.) Every time I subscribe to a list via 
email, I need to reset my password on the server. This is annoying to say the 
least.

Thanks!
Pat

Subject: Local password reset when subscribing via email

Good morning!

I first noticed this on our production 6.1.3 system and have duplicated it on 
our test 6.2.24 system.

I have a local user account (e.g. address@concealed). I can login OK to the web 
interface and manage my subscriptions. Then I send an email to 
address@concealed with the subject "SUBSCRIBE listname 
address@concealed". I am successfully subscribed to the list and receive 
confirmation from the software.

However, my password is no longer valid on the web interface. When I try to 
login, I get "Unable to continue: The username / password combination 
provided was incorrect." I need to reset my password in order to continue. 
This is problematic.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Pat
