What is your MTA? How does it deliver to Mailman? Does it use aliases
and if so, do you have all 9 of the blah-*@blah.com aliases as well as
the blah at blah.com one?

What exactly do you mean by an "access denied" error? Do you mean they
mail to blah-subscribe at blah.com, get a confirmation message and then
get an http 401 when attempting to visit the URL in the confirmation
message? If so, is this different than from a subscribe attempt from
the form on the listinfo page.

Does this work for other lists?

Can they visit other list web pages like the listinfo, admin and
admindb pages and if so, is the domain in the URLs they use for those
pages the same as in the confirmation URL?
