[Mailman-Users] re subscribers not getting welcome email

Hi, 

I have managed to so far sucessfully setup mailman on a private test
network.

I subscribed a few test users and, that worked no problem, each got a
request email and a confirmation email.

I then went to the web interface and unsubscribed them, and again I got
a goodbye email.

I then tested it again, by subscribing to the same list as using one of
the previous unsubscribed email addresses, and got a request email, but
this time, when I go to confirm the request, I never get a welcome email
and looking at the mailman web User Management interface, that user has
not been added onto the list.

looking at /var/log/mailman/subscribe, each user is still pending, and
according to my /var/log/maillog, sendmail has forwarded the reqest to
the wrapper mailcmd program.

There are no errors, listed in mailmans error logs either.

Please see below (note: the domain names will not resolve externally,
but will internally, as I have internal DNS setup)

/var/log/mailman/sunscribe:

If I try to subscribe as a new user, it still works perfectly.
I am also set as the list admin as well

Any help would be greatly appresiated.

Thanks in advance

Mark
