I've got a number of mail lists I'd like to run without requiring the user to 
performan a confirmation or for the list-admin to approve.  I've added to 
"mm_cfg.py" the lines:

DEFAULT_SUBSCRIBE_POLICY = 0
ALLOW_OPEN_SUBSCRIBE = yes

and then stopped and restarted mailman.  If I send a  message with "subscribe" 
in the subject to one of the lists, the list admin still gets a mail indicating 
that the subscription request needs to be approved.

Thinking that the issue was that the user was a non-member, I added the user's 
domain into the "accept_these_nonmembers".  The behavior is the same-- the list 
admin gets a mail to approve their subscription request.

I then removed the domain info under "accept_these_nonmembers" and changed 
"generic_nonmember_action" to accept and the list admin still get a mail 
indicating an approval is required.

The "subscribe_policy" shows as none under the UI.

Is there another setting I need to tweak so that the list admin does not need 
to approve subscriptions?

Is a completely open list (no user confirmation, no list admin approval) 
possible?  I intend to lock things down via the ban list once I get the open 
portion working as I expect.

I'm running mailman 2.1.9 on red hat.

Thanks
