And to do that, set

DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'https:///mailman/'

(substituting for  of course) in mm_cfg.py and then fun 
fix_url, see https://wiki.list.org/x/4030616

Hello,

We've encountered a weird issue with mailman 2. We're using mailman 
2.1.39, running on a straight RHEL 9 server.


When someone subscribes to a mailing list, they receive an email that 
says, among other things:



Or visit this web page:


http:///mailman/confirm//9e2fccef2ac047bb3d67e602e7fb695a277afe43


Normally, clicking on this link would confirm the subscription. In our 
case, it prompts for the string again, and keeps doing so - it seems 
that mailman doesn't recognize the string as being valid.


One thing to check is that URL. If your webserver always redirects http 
to https but Mailman thinks its URL starts with http:// you will have 
problems like this. The solution is switch Mailman to use the https URL.









Using one of the other confirmation methods, such as just replying to 
the message, works correctly. The new subscriber is confirmed 
successfully.


The same issue occurs for unsubscribe requests.

The What steps are required for subscription? option is set to 
Confirm.


Can anyone suggest how to fix this?

Thanks.

::Jack
