Did you use the admin page,
(whatever/mailman/admin/LISTNAME/members),<br>
or did you go to the listinfo pages (whatever/mailman/listinfo/LISTNAME)
and<br>
subscribe them from there? If you used the listinfo page, then
they're probably,<br>
if you took the defaults, waiting on confirmation from the subscriber to
finish<br>
the signup process.<br>
<br>
Or, if you set it to moderator only, then they're waiting on *you* to
approve<br>
them, and they probably have mail telling them they're waiting on the
moderator<br>
to approve their subscription. You can tell that from the admindb
page.<br>
(whatever/mailman/admindb/LISTNAME)<br>
<br>
(Those are URLs, of course, with "whatever" being your mailman
host, and<br>
LISTNAME being whatever you called your list. For foo.com, and
list<br>
"demolist", it'd be
<a href="http://foo.com/mailman/admindb/demolist" eudora="autourl">http://foo.com/mailman/admindb/demolist</a>)<br>
<br>
As an admin, subscribe people via the admin page, which just goes
and<br>
adds them to the list. The only reason an admin would use the
member page<br>
is if they wanted to be able to explicitly set the password to
something<br>
non-random.<br>
