I'm using Lite. As I was testing, I unsubscribed an address not in the db and I was re-directed to the confirmation page.
I have read in the forums that the db is checked upon a new subscription. Does this apply to an unsubscribe?
DB check on unsubscribe
(2 posts) (2 voices)-
When you subscribe to the newsletter, the script checks whether that email address is already in the database. If it is, it is not added again and the user is redirected as normal.
When you unsubscribe, the script deletes the record from the mailing list database for that email address - if that record exists. The way SQL works is that if there are no records with that address, there is no error but nothing is deleted. The user is then redirected.
I had not thought it important (at least not for the initial release) to include failure messages (e.g. "You are already on the mailing list") for these forms. I may reconsider this for a future release.
