The first time I tried the email confirm / reject function of mailman
2.1b3 it worked, but since then, it isn't working.
I can provide more information, logs or headers if necessary. Saw one
weird bit in the error log, but from about 20 minutes before I first
tried to discard the message via email.
*********
original message (some headers removed):
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: confirm 8a73a2be104ba0be21f1516299b4d8f3d00b4483
If you reply to this message, keeping the Subject: header intact,
Mailman will discard the held message. Do this if the message is
spam. If you reply to this message and include an Approved: header
with the list password in it, the message will be approved for posting
to the list. The Approved: header can also appear in the first line
of the body of the reply.

And the response:
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Subject: The results of your email commands
Date: Mon, 30 Sep 2002 01:32:10 -0700
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
[....other headers and junk snipped]
- Results:
Invalid confirmation string. Note that confirmation strings expire
approximately 3 days after the initial subscription request. If your
confirmation has expired, please try to re-submit your original request
or message.
Checked, and the message is still pending. Sent the "confirmation" well
within 3 days.
BTW, why not have the message itself sent with the confirmation string
rather than as a third rfc822 attachment? Seems like people with brain
damaged MTAs would have an easier time responding to those.
