Set up a test list to which you can repeatedly subscribe yourself.
Start with no custom templates - just your welcome message. Verify
that that works. Then copy the subscribeack.txt template to the
lists/<teslist>/en directory which you create. Verify that it still
works. Then make incremental changes to
lists/<teslist>/en/subscribeack.txt and tests until you find what
breaks it.

Note one possibility - you must have at least

%(welcome)s

in your subscribeack.txt template to receive your list welcome message.
If the subscribeack.txt template is empty, the welcome message will
have no message body which may be why it isn't delivered.
