	According to the documentation at 
<http://www.list.org/mailman-member/node10.html>, that's correct.

	Are you getting any error messages sent to the administrator?  Do 
you require confirmation and/or approval for subscription requests? 
What's in the Mailman logs?  What's in the logs of your mail server? 
Any one of these could point to a particular problem.

	You may also want to look at the Mailman FAQ entry for general 
trouble-shooting at
