Re: [Mailman-Users] Unable to confirm subscription with outlook
Thank you Mark, That's fixed it... Im's surprised that Outlook/Exchange does not support VERP but, really, I don't think I should be. It's a shame I'm having to disable it as all other (free) mailers worked just fine. Ah well... http://www.exim.org/howto/mailman21.html#verpin Again, thank you for the help -Original Message- From: Mark Sapiro [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 23 August 2005 17:39 To: Darko Longin; mailman-users@python.org Subject: Re: [Mailman-Users] Unable to confirm subscription with outlook Darko Longin wrote: >outlook 2000 (or any other version) > >We've come across a problem where exchange users who wish to confirm their >subscription via email get the following error: > >>snip >> >> The results of your email command are provided below.

[Mailman-Users] Unable to confirm subscription with outlook
All, Any help greatly appreciated, apologies if it was already covered. mailman - 2.1.6 exim - 4.52-3 sparc solaris 8 outlook 2000 (or any other version) We've come across a problem where exchange users who wish to confirm their subscription via email get the following error: >snip > > The results of your email command are provided below. Attached is your > original message. > > > - Unprocessed: > RE: Your confirmation is required to join the some-internal-list mailing > list > > -Original Message- > > From: >snip ...this ONLY happens when they hit "Reply" as opposed to creating a new mail and putting "confirm 98278438uidssfid" in the Subject field. However, this ONLY happens to users who have their mailboxes sitting on the exchange server. All users who have Personal Folders set (i.e pulling emails to local pst file) do NOT experience these problems. I've compared the headers and can not see any noticeable difference?! I just can not understand why (if?) it matters where the mailbox sits? Is exchange doing something weird here?
