Ahhh, suggestions on where to look for the aforesaid
logs, queues & other files would be appreciated.

It has been educational.  I found
mailman/data/pending_subscriptions.db
and I see there's a Pending.py (and *.pyc), and cron/checkdbs
looks very interesting but so far unenlightening, and those
led me to MailList.py and ProcessConfirmation and
MailCommandHandler.py (& .pyc)...
and I see some calls to syslog & the class def but haven't
found the actual file where it'd be writing.
