What version of Mailman?  What version of Python?  What OS?  What MTA,
and what version of the MTA?

Hard to know without the above data.

First thing to try is tail Mailman's logs and your MTAs log(s) as a
subscribe request is made.  Mailman's logs are in ~mailman/logs; I would
just tail all of them.  (GNU tail is your friend: "tail -f *" actually
works!)
