All --
After migrating our existing users, I have a question about new subscribers to my announce-only list (Mailman 2.1.9) who must confirm to actually join.
I'm seeing a number of replies to the confirm message in the moderation queue. There's no discernibly new content in the message, it looks just like the confirm message except that it probably didn't confirm the subscriber.
What options are available for me to help these users confirm their intention to join the list?

You can go to http://www.example.com/mailman/confirm/LISTNAME and copy/paste the confirmation token from the email into the box on the form and confirm that way, or just follow the similar link in the message that already contains the token.
Or, you can send a message to LISTNAME-request@example.com with Subject: confirm <token> or you can send a message to LISTNAME-confirm+<token>@example.com.
One of those latter two options is what should have happened had the user just replied to the confirmation email.
