Hello, I'm running mailman v2.1.5. When I attempt to subscribe to a list via the web gui. I receive the email I need to confirm. I reply to the email. The email is received by my mailman server. I see it in the maillog. However, after that nothing happens. I am not added to the list nor a message stating that I have sucessfully subscribed. Has anyone else had this problem?



The e-mail has a subject of the form

Subject: confirm bfb17fa8cb865644b1d4239335148977d3bc6267

The reply needs to go to the <listname>-request address and it needs to
preserve the subject or possibly make a subject of the form

Subject: Re: confirm bfb17fa8cb865644b1d4239335148977d3bc6267

There is an issue with certain MUAs (MS Outlook) that will make the
subject of the reply

Subject: Re : confirm bfb17fa8cb865644b1d4239335148977d3bc6267

This will not work. I.e. 'confirm' needs to be either the first or the
second "token" following Subject:

I double checked the message subject. It's shouldn't be the cause. I ran into this same problem with mailman 2.0.x.


This is what I see. We have a mail router which accepts incoming email for [EMAIL PROTECTED] This includes mailing lists. The [EMAIL PROTECTED] gets forwarded to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I see the message come in and get sent to mailman. Nothing after that. If I send the confirmation to [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of [EMAIL PROTECTED] I see the message come in, get sent to mailman and then the welcome message sent back out. This makes absolutly no sense as to why it works one way, but not the other.
