Hi there,

we are experimenting with Mailman 2.1 (we absolutely need the Italian version)
and we have problems with email confirmation of subscriptions.
Here is the kind of message people trying to confirm receive in response:

Does this mean that "mailcmd" should be added to the array initializer
starting at line 35 in src/mail-wrapper.c, now reading

const char *VALID_COMMANDS[] = {
        "bounces",
        "join",
        "leave",
        "post", 
        "owner",
        "request",
        NULL                                 /* Sentinel, don't remove */
};

Or "mailcmd" is indeed an illegal command and the culprit
is somewhere else?
Thanks a lot, and keep up the great work.

       Roberto
