[Mailman-Users] Can't subscribe to my lists

[Neil Darlow]

Hi,

I'm attempting to use Mailman-2.0.10 with sendmail-8.11.6 on  FreeBSD-4.5.

I've installed Mailman from the FreeBSD ports collection and configured it as 
per the INSTALL document.

I've checked that aliases exist for Mailman itself and my list and that a 
crontab is in place.

My problem is as follows:

I can access my list's listinfo page and fill-out the subscription details. 
Posting the subscription form e-mails a confirmation request to the 
subscriber e-mail address and the list owner address.

Replying to the confirmation e-mail produces nothing. I would expect a 
welcome message confirming my subscription but nothing is returned at all.

Checking the sendmail logs shows all e-mail transfers for the subscribe are 
successful with DSNs of 2.0.0 and checking mailman's logs/error reveals no 
errors while logs/smtp reveals two outgoing mail messages processed. 
logs/subscribe shows the subscription as pending as does a dumpdb of the 
data/pending_subscriptions.db file.

My list has been configured as not-externally-visible with member-only 
posting, if that's any help.

It appears that the subscription process has been initiated but stalled for 
some reason. There are no cron-related errors either.

Any suggestions gratefully accepted. Please CC me as I'm not subscribed to 
the list.

Regards,
Neil Darlow M.Sc.
