[Mailman-Users] noob here

[Julian Brown]

Howdy

I just installed V2.1.  I am excited, I am moving my many Majordomo lists
over.  But right out of the shoot, I ran into a problem with a confirmation
string.

I saw some discussion about that in beta and before, but not exactly as I am
seeing it.

Could you review this trace and tell me if I have it misconfigued in
someway?

Thanx

Julian Brown

He tried it again later and had a different but I am sure related problem

ello,

         No, all cookies are enabled. I was using Netscape 6.2

         I tried the link again in Explorer and Netscape and got the
following

Bad confirmation string
Invalid confirmation string: e7044384835a781fbee0fad0ac80b96a40323f5e.

Note that confirmation strings expire approximately 3 days after the
initial subscription request. If your confirmation has expired, please try
to re-submit your subscription. Otherwise, re-enter your confirmation
string.
