[Mailman-Users] Error processing the confirmation for subscription to a new list

[Raghuveer Polavarapu]

Hi Joe
This is raghu Polavarapu from Convergent Media Systems Corporation trying to
get in touch with you to see if you could help me with the same problem that
I am having (regarding confirmation of subscriptions to a list in mailman)
that I noticed you had posted on the usergroup for mailman. I have
successfully instaled mailman, created a newlist and then tried to subscribe
to the list. I get the email from mailman asking me to confirm the
subscription to the list. I send the email to confirm my subscription but it
never gets processed and I looked at the $prefix/logs/error and noticed the
follwoing error:

Aug 05 23:53:01 2002 qrunner(19293): Traceback (innermost last):

I noticed that you had posted a similar error message to the user group last
month and am not sure if you fixed this problem. I am hoping that you might
have fixed this problem and hence trying to ge t in touch with you to get
some help from you regarding this. Could you please help me or provide me
with some pointers on how to fix this.
Your help is geratly appreciated.

thanks
