[Mailman-Users] Mailing List subscriptions are 'frozen'

[Derek Cicero]

I searched the archives for this issue and did not find any relevant 
messages, so I was hoping someone could help me.

We've been running mailman 2.1.4 on Solaris for about 2 years and in the 
last week the subscription confirmations have seemingly stopped being 
sent to users. In looking at the subscription log, it's only been able 
to process 11 new subscriptions today, vs. 5000 pending ones.

Now, the 5000+ subscription requests seems odd, since that would match 
the total number of subscribers to all lists, so I assume those are 
attempts by spam-subscribers. Do we need to dump out the confirmation 
queue? Does mailman eventually get full of bad (spam) sign-up attempts?

Thanks,
Derek
