I have a list owner who runs a list designed to be subscribed to from text-messaging cell phones (list traffic consists only of a daily haiku - very neat). People can use the web interface to sign up, but the confirmations are a problem. The subscription confirmation arrives at the phone, the user replies to it, and then... nada. Seems to go into a bit bucket. I've confirmed that the ID cookie does make it across just fine.
A little later, the list owner receives a copy of the message below. At first I thought there was some discrepancy between the Return-Path: and the From: headers, but when I send a regular email from the phone to myself, they both come through fine, and match. I'm stumped. The list owner *really* wants to turn off confirmations altogether, but I don't see any way to do this. Is there one? If confirmations absolutely can't be disabled, any ideas on why cell phone subscriptions fail, or what can be done about it?
