[Mailman-Users] email subscribe command not responding

2014-04-16 Thread Walt Thiessen
I have a list where the email command to subscribe another user doesn't 
seem to work when I include it in the body of an email and send it to 
mylist-requ...@mydomain.tld.


subscribe [$$PASSWORD$$] [digest|nodigest] [address=$$ADDRESS$$]

When I try to use it, I get no notification back of any kind.

is there a setting somewhere that might be affecting this functionality?

Did you activate this functionality for this list mylist ?
Look for:
administrivia - Yes
autorespond_requests(Yes if you want always a response)
autorespond_request_text


Kind regards,

This is probably expected. The email subscribe does not respond if the
subscribe command is successful and the subscribe requires confirmation.
This is because in the normal case, the subscription is for the user
submitting the command and it's redundant to send both results of your
email commands and your subscription requires confirmation emails.

In your case however, the your subscription requires confirmation
email goes to a different address and you get nothing.

You may consider this a bug, but fixing it is tricky as the subscribed
address may or may not be an alternate for the submitter's address and
correct behavior may depend on that which is unknowable.

You can use the Auto-responder settings to generate an auto response to
the message to mylist-requ...@mydomain.tld, but this autoresponse only
tells you that the message was received. It doesn't say what the
disposition was.

You can assume the request was successful because you should receive a
response to the command if there was an error.
