barry: just to make sure: if you subscribe a new address to a mailing list via the rest API this new member will not get a confirmation mail, correct?
barry
florianf: that's right. however, unless the email address has already been validated, no delivery will occur (i.e. unvalidated emails are filtered out of recipient lists). i suppose we need to think about how to trigger an email confirmation for rest subscribed emails

barry: that's what robert's bug report is about: a rest-based subscription w/o postorius account should trigger an email opt-in mail…
barry
florianf: one possibility is to add a flag to the POST variables for /members. the semantics would be that *if* the email address is brand new, it should get a confirmation msg. that would have to be plumbed through, but i think that's fine.
rnix
barry: well then request parameters as control flags would be appropriate.. ?
