When people subscribe their email address is immediately being stored to be "active" - no matter if the confirmation link in the email has been clicked or not!

I looked in the database and in fact the "active" field is set to "1" (even for users that never clicked their confirmation links)

designchris,

A subscription is not activated until a record is created in the simplenews_snid_tid table. This occurs when the user clicks the confirm link in the email.

I believe the activated field is used to indicate an account has been blocked. Perhaps the field name should be changed to "blocked", to avoid confusion with the activation process.
