It worked for me when I tried it just now. >At any rate, the confirmation message text is incorrect for this >configuration. Granted.

Which says that the message was processed by cmd_request and not by cmd_confirm. I don't know how that could have happened if you actually sent it to mailman-developers-confirm+<token>@python.org, and it didn't happen when I just tried it. >> the To: address didn't match VERP_CONFIRM_REGEXP or the reply wasn't >> sent to the -confirm address, or the site's MTA doesn't correctly >> deliver mail addressed to listname-confirm+<token>@... .

I just tried it twice with different subscribed addresses, once with a web generated request and once with a request mailed to mailman-developers-subscr...@python.org. In both cases, I received a confirmation email like the one you received and just pressed reply and send and both confirmations were accepted and resulted in a list welcome message -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
