Mailman 3: Changing email address seems to break subscription for listadmins list
Open, MediumPublic

Description

I have two email addresses, A and B, which are linked to the same user account in Mailman 3. They were both used for list administration so they presumably both got subscribed to the listadmins list; I get the emails to both addresses.

Trying to change that worked weird:

@Tgr This happened to me some days ago, but in my case the email addresses where identical (that is, I got twice subscribed to listadmins-l with the same address and attemps to fix it via the UI where futile, the same error messages as you got were displayed to me).

In my case I fixed it by sending an email to listadmins-leave@lists.wikimedia.org with Subject unsubscribe. Some minutes later I received an administrative message from the mailman server asking me to confirm my unsubscription request. I confirmed it. The result was that the duplicate was gone.

2021-05-11 11:19:29 I think it has to do with mm thinking that I have two addresses: the main one in the mm3 system and the other imported from mm2

I hope that it helps.

Marostegui removed a project: SRE.

it looks like those are merged, so is it just a matter of syncing with upstream?
