Confirmations are sent with

Precedence: bulk

which may be part of the problem, but I just tested a confirmation to a
gmail.com address and it went to the inbox. As far as I know, I have no
special spam whitelisting in effect on this gmail account.

The one thing that might be different is the server I sent this from has

VERP_CONFIRMATIONS = Yes

in mm_cfg.py which changes the subject from

  confirm 6e4cfe0ab337729574b1a643a231569ef0ef59ab

to

  Your confirmation is required to join the LISTNAME mailing list

and the From: from

  LISTNAME-request at example.com

to

  LISTNAME-confirm+6e4cfe0ab337729574b1a643a231569ef0ef59ab at example.com

So you might try setting VERP_CONFIRMATIONS = Yes if your MTA can
properly deliver to an address such as above. That may help.
