This in itself indicates a problem. When you initiate a subscribe from
the web interface, this will result in a subscription confirmation
message sent to the subscribee from the listname-request address with
envelope from the listname-bounces address. If mail is coming to the
listname-bounces address, this seems to say the confirmation bounced,
and if the bounce is recognized by mailman but is for a non-member, it
is ignored.

So the issue seems to be that the confirmation is bouncing and not with
delivery to the -bounces address.
