[Mailman-Users] join vs subscribe

[kalin mintchev]

so then what does it mean when i sent 3 different email requests to
subscribe to a list and nothing happens..

the ways are: sending a message to list-subscribe at host, list-join at host and
list-request at host with the subject and body 'subscribe'.
mail log says:

l350hXwM001076: to="|/var/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe list",
ctladdr=<list-subscribe at caiman.el.net> (8/0), delay=00:00:01, xdelay=
00:00:01, mailer=prog, pri=30923, dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent

or in other words this is turned over to mailman.
after A FEW HOURS this turns up in the mailman subscribe log:


Apr 04 20:17:21 2007 (5670) list: pending kalin at el.net  kalin at el.net Apr
04 20:17:21 2007 (5670) list: pending kalin at el.net  kalin at el.net Apr 04
20:17:24 2007 (5670) list: pending kalin at el.net  kalin at el.net Apr 04
20:17:25 2007 (5670) list: pending kalin at el.net  kalin at el.net Apr 04
20:17:25 2007 (5670) list: pending kalin at el.net  kalin at el.net Apr 04
20:17:25 2007 (5670) list: pending kalin mintchev <kalin at el.net> 
kalin at el.net

still i have not gotten the email where i'm supposed to confirm my
subscription.

my name is not in the queue?

what's up with the delay?

thanks....
