The error below is from an attempted subscribe (i.e. clicking the
subscribe button) from the listinfo page for the list whose name you
apparently replaced with 'listname' in a few places below.

The problem is the subscribe request can't be added to the pending
database because the
usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/lists/listname_ascls-lists.org/pending.pck
file is corrupt. You can just remove that file, although you will lose
the confirmation data for other requests, but it's probably lost
anyway.

Is this the problem you're having?

I note that I can go to the overview at
<http://ascls-lists.org/mailman/listinfo/> and to the listinfo for the
two public lists on that page without problem.
