Now I can "talk" to mailman...

I re-configured mailman --with-mail-gid=mail, it seems to work now, thanks to all who helped.

one observation though.

the confirmation message when a user received when they join, says to

"simply reply to this message, keeping the Subject: header intact."

however, replying to the message, by default ads "Re:" to the subject which caused the confirmation to be rejected by mailman. see below.

Replying again, after removeing the "Re:" worked, and I got the "welcome" message.

Shouldn't mailman be smarter and recognize the "Re:"?

I'll bet that most users will just hit "reply" which (at least on my email client Eudora 5.2.1 under MacOS 9.2.2) adds an "Re:" to the subject line.

Is there a setting I am missing?
