+mailing-list-subscribers shows people who aren't team members

Hi Brian,

thanks for the report. Which member is not a member of bug control but is listed as a mailing list subscriber?

Thanks

This one at least - https://edge.launchpad.net/~matthew-momjian/+participation .

Barry, I see that the template is calling mailing_list.getSubscriber(), and that the user in question (-Zeus-, ~matthew-momjian) is listed among the pending member. Can you confirm that a pending members does not get the list mail?

This is a UI bug that wrongly show pending members in the list of subscribers. We will fix this soon when we update all the team pages to the same layout as users.

I just had a problem that is similar to this one. I got an email from mythbuntu-documentation ML, but I'm not part of the related team (either directly or indirectely), I have never been part of it (and neither I applied to be a member, so the bug regarding pending members doesn't affect me), and nevertheless I appear in the ML subscribers list.
Just to add more mystery, the mythbuntu-documentation doesn't appear in my +editemails page.

I'm attaching the raw message I got today. I only sanitized the sender and ML email address.

Hi Guilherme, Barry.

I'm raising this to critical until we can identify what is wrong here. Before today, we have seen no evidence that user were getting emails that they should not. Nor could we reproduce it in staging or dev. This looked like a display problem.

The attached email shows that it was received even though there was not direct or indirect relationship in Launchpad. The probable path the took from the origin team to the recipient was:
    ~mythbuntu-documentation > ~mythbuntu > ~ubuntu-dev > ~warp10
The ~ubuntu-dev team is a *former* member of ~mythbuntu
    https://edge.launchpad.net/~mythbuntu-documentation/+members
So that team must not receive email.

Looks like I was wrong about the pending member thing. After reading Curtis' message, I have found that ~ubuntu-dev-without-bugmail is a former member of ~mythbuntu, but ~ubuntu-dev is a actually a *pending* member of ~mythbuntu (and I am a member of both).

I have asked a few fellow members of ~ubuntu-dev about this issue, looks like I'm the only one who got that email.

My suspicion is that the problem is in the TeamParticipation table. There's no way Andrea can get an email from the list unless he's in the that table for that team. That points to a corruption in the table and a problem in keeping that table updated correctly.

Let's verify that ~warp10 is in that table and then we need to 1) fix the data; 2) figure out how TeamParticipation got corrupt.

The original bug is different than the one Andrea is observing. I'm reassigning this bug back to Salgado after lowering its priority. Andrea's problem is captured in bug 392255, which is assigned to me and marked critical.

Fixed released in Launchpad sinzui.
