FS#2608 - Notification email sent although not requested
I tried to register a user test3, and in my flyspray Installation the adminstratior disabled the notifications.
So I could only select “None” as text next to “Notifications”. After I pressed the button “Send Code!”, I received the email with the confirmation code. I clicked on the link in the email, and on the appearing website I entered the confirmation code and password and pressed the button “Register this account”.
Then I got the next e-mail message.
This message begins with:
“You have registered at Flyspray. Your details are as follows:”
This e-mail ends with the sentences:
“You are receiving this message because you have requested it from the Flyspray bugtracking system. If you did not expect this message or don’t want to receive mails in future, you can change your notification settings at the URL shown above.”
But this is not true. I have not requested this email. I as user test3 cannot change the notification settings because the notifications are disabled by the administrator.
If the legislator does not tolerate such unwanted e-mails, it can lead to high fines for the operator of this bug tracker software.
