Summary

0015176: Feature request - Administrator to be able to approve new subscribers

Description

For some private mailing lists it would be useful to have list manager approval once the email address had been confirmed.

One way to achieve this would be for a duplicate of the opt-in message to be sent to the list manager containing all the details and comments for each new subscriber enabling the list manager to authorize individuals after confirming identity.

It would work best for lists with a low turnover like clubs and other organizations.

Additional Information

An alternative mechanism would be to have the ability to sent the opt-in confirmation email to the list manager every time instead of to the subscriber.

For the type of mailing list I want there would be little point in subscribing someone maliciously. The rest of the info provided from the subscription page should be sufficient to identify legitimate new subscribers.

This I would be less ideal as a miss-typed email address would not be picked up but would be easier to implement.
