The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Stephen Jarjoura <address@concealed>]

Hello, Betty;

We have an unsubscribe scenario that uses:

• equal([sender],[email])
  If the message sender is equal to the request target
• is_subscriber([listname],[email])
  If the request target is a subscriber of this list

[email] → "... the target user of operation ..."

See - sympa_scenario - Authorization scenario
Even though it's in the Action section of that document, we're using it in the test portion of the scenario.

Hopefully you can use some combination of those tests to get what you want.

I want to allow a list subscriber to unsubscribe themselves. I have a scenario  “unsubscribe.subscriber” configured

 

title.gettext  owners & subscribers only

 

is_subscriber([listname],[email])             smtp,dkim,smime,md5    -> do_it,notify

is_owner([listname],[email])       smtp,dkim,smime,md5 -> do_it

is_listmaster([sender])            smtp,dkim,md5,smime  -> do_it

true()                             smtp,dkim,md5,smime -> reject(reason='unsub_closed')

 

But emailing sympa the command “unsubscribe listname address@concealed” from address@concealed allows B to unsubscribe A, even though B is not the list subscriber or even A list subscriber.

 

I also tried

is_subscriber([listname],[sender])             smtp,dkim,smime,md5    -> do_it,notify

 

Am I missing something, or must I restrict unsubscribe to owners and/or listmasters if I don’t want it open?

 

Thanks

Betty
