[Mailman-Users] join vs subscribe

[kalin mintchev]

i just got the emails - all of them at once - hours after the requests
were made...

and i'm seeing something in the maillog i haven't seen before:
timeout waiting for input from local during Draining Input

i just confirmed one. by replying. still not a member...

this has never happened before. i found this thread without a resolution
of the problem:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2005-July/045582.html

anyone knows how that story ended?

my mailman version is 2.1.5. it has been working fine so far except i have
to restart mailman with cron because the bounce runner crashes for some
reason...
