[Mailman-Users] List Subscription Error

[M. Onur ERGiN]

Thanks for pointing to Python upgrade. That's probably the reason of the problem. 
   
  I guess, I have missed to stress on one point in my question :) Along with those mailman logs, no requests happen to be pending in the list admin view. A person submits subscription info to Mailman, and he doesn't receive any response. The admin doesn't recieve any subscription request/notification, either. So, the subscription request just disappears as if it has never been sent. 
   
  Can I solve this problem by simply replacing some scripts with newer versions of them?
   
  Regards,
  Onur.

This is because you have or upgraded to Python 2.5 which issues the
deprecation warning for string exceptions. This warning will be
supressed in Mailman 2.1.10, but it is only a warning. Other than the
log message, nothing has changed.

Which means the subscription is pending confirmation by the user who
has been sent an email requesting confirmation. This in turn is
because Privacy options...->Subscription rules->subscribe_policy is
either 'Confirm' or 'Confirm and approve'

Note that Mailman is not failing. It is doing what it is configured to
do. The only 'error' is the deprecation warning from Python 2.5, and
that is just a warning.
