If we look at one of the features in : -----> Privacy Options ----> Subscription Rules -----------> What steps are required for subscription ??? And there are 3-options.

if we go Confirm and Approve then ???

The potential subscriber gets a confirmation e-mail to confirm she/he really wants to subscribe. This e-mail must be confirmed by replying to the e-mail or visiting a web link in the mail.

After confirmation (the confirm part), the list moderator/owner is notified of the subscription request and must approve it (the approve part).

Kindly keep in mind that the addresses are stored by the moderator himself..................members were neither invited nor they subscribed themselves.

If you are saying the addresses are subscribed directly via mass subscribe, then the "steps required" don't apply. The addresses are just subscribed immediately.

Request to all those who are using this Mailman as an ANNOUNCEMENT LIST.............i.e. One-Way list as I need to know whether all subscribed members are getting my mails regularly or not.

You could ask them...

OTOH, if Mailman is working and they aren't bouncing, then the mail is getting as far as the subscriber's incoming MTA, and that's as much as you can find out.

Will anybody respond to this soon ?????

People, I in particular, have responded to several of your previous posts and answered questions similar if not identical to some of these. See the archives at http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2004-September/thread.html . Of course, if you haven't received any of those replies, you probably won't receive this one either. This time, I'll try not replying directly to you on the theory that maybe you can receive from the list but not from me. If that doesn't work, I'm going to give up trying to answer your questions.
