Personally I don't think "bulk subscribe" or even "bulk invite" have any
place in a mailing list manager. I take a dim view of anyone or any
organisation that attempts to subscribe me to any list and I would never
subscribe anyone to a list I managed. Subscription is (IMHO) something
that should always be left to the subscriber.
As far as the warning is concerned, I always found such warnings
reassuring but I haven't seen one since Aktivix followed the example of
Riseup and switched from CA Cert to Gandi, which uses the
UTN-USERFirst-Hardware root certificate that is pre-installed in Safari.
