• We have an issue with emails going out to users before they confirm their subscription, this doesn’t sound compliant.

    Is there a fix for this?

    Hi @cmorph

    The way it works is that when a pending comments is approved (by a moderator/editor/admin) and it has an unconfirmed subscription associated with that comment, it will automatically get confirmed.

    Is that maybe what’s happening? Did those subscribers (for which you noticed the issue) have a pending comment which you then approved?

    And thinking about it, maybe we should get rid of that automatic confirmation when a pending comment gets approved. But let me know if that explains the problem, so we know if there’s something else that needs to be looked at.

    Hello, sorry for the late response!

    What you describe in the first two paragraphs of your reply above seems to explain the behaviour we are seeing. It still feels wrong to receive an email when I haven’t clicked ‘Please confirm your request by clicking on this link:’ on the original email. Probably not critical though, since they can then decide to unsubscribe if they want to.
