Hi, Figured this would be the best place to report this.
I just tried again to subscribe to the developers list and discovered that you couldn't confirm your subscription just by replying.
The message text implies that the confirmation key should be in the subject, but the confirmation key was in the From address of the confirmation message (see below). Replying simply send me a message telling me that the subject line was being ignored. It seems the confirm code was also ignored.
Not sure how it's meant to work but it's the first time I've had to resort to clicking on the URL.
Oh and I notice that this is Mailman 2.1.12. :) Geoff. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 01 Feb 2010 13:04:18 +0100 From: mailman-developers-confirm+519716b18b6d4ddef39fd87d0e5abdf8c5ced...@python.o rg To: ge...@quitelikely.com Subject: Your confirmation is required to join the Mailman-Developers mailing list Mailing list subscription confirmation notice for mailing list Mailman-Developers We have received a request from ge...@quitelikely.com for subscription of your email address, "ge...@quitelikely.com", to the mailman-develop...@python.org mailing list.
