When new members subscribe to mailing lists on my CVS mailman
installation they receive the usual message requiring confirmation. When
replying to this message they are correctly added to the list of
pending subscriptions for moderator approval but receive an error
message which makes it look like a failure.
I have attached the three relevant messages:
plsconfirm (from mailman after a webpage subscription request)
reply (sent by me)
error (the message sent back from mailman)
You can try this for yourself, the webpage is
