[Koha-devel] Why we do not push the ACCTDETAILS email via message queue?

[David Cook]

Considering that the borrower’s password is typically in the ACCTDETAILS email, I think using the message_queue for ACCTDETAILS would be a bad idea and would probably violate the GDPR in Europe.

 

Just imagine looking through your database and seeing all those plain text passwords, especially for people who re-use the same password for everything. I think it would be a security and privacy nightmare.

Maybe because for this message you're expecting it is sent immediately while message_queue table could be processed more occasionally ?

Hi all, 

 

I was wondering why we do not push the ACCTDETAILS email via  the message queue.

 

Is it just one of those cases of "as things have always been done" OR there is a reason that I'm missing out?

 

cheers

indranil.
