The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[David Verdin <address@concealed>]

Hi Vanessa,

What "double opt-in" option are you referring to exactly?

Do you mean the process in which Sympa, after somebody requested 
subscription, sends a mail that the user must clik or answer in order to 
have his subscription accepted?

In that cas, the data are not stored in memory. It is stored in the 
Sympa spools and such informations are usually stored on month maximum.

Regards,

David
