Hello

I was away for some time (hey, even I have vacation somedays ;)) and have now come back.

If you have forgotten what the problem is:

e-mail conformation isn't working for a list (though for others it does). 

After evaluating the problem again it seems that my first impression was a bit erroneous (read I didn't debug efficiently enough):

It seems that confirming via web page works, but only if one hasn't tried to do it by mail. It seems that the mail removes the confirmation from the pending confirmations, but doesn't do the trick. And after that the web page confirmation doesn't really have anything to confirm against.

The error log gives the following information:

Any suggestions based on this one?
