[Mailman-Users] Re: Double Opt-In?

[Dave Basener]

Double opt-in refers to what should be the only way you can sign up for
a mail server list.  That is, the user, as part of the sign-up, enters
her email address.  A confirmation email is sent to that address and the
user is not actually added to the list until the action specified in the
email (usually just a reply, but it can be a URL also) is taken.

This eliminates the possibility of false sign-ups - pranks.
