Thank you, Mark. That makes sense.
And, as you suggested, this will not work for me, because a lot of people log in and then apply to more lists. I can't exhort them to get the accounts set up and do their subscription maintenance while logged in, and they tell them that if they want to sign up for another list they have to log out first. __
I do need to find another way. I suggested these options:
a. That we change the lines in the Python program in our installation that send 'list:admin:action:subscribe' to the list admins to instead send the template to the applying subscriber.
b. That we change the lines in the Python program in our installation that send 'list:user:action:subscribe' to the subscriber with an unverified address to always do this, even when the incoming address has already been verified.
c. That the current 'list:user:action:subscribe' be changed in published Mailman 3 source to 'list:user:action:confirm' and a new template ''list:user:action:subscribe' be set up to be sent when any subscribe request is made. This is more work, of course, so not likely a good thing to hack locally. It could be useful to other users.
Of course, (a.) and (b.) are preferred in the short term, as I'd like to get our procedure simplified. Any idea which file to change for either, and some suggestion as to what to change?
Yours,

Mark,
I tried doing this. I unsubscribed myself from a list, set the policy as you suggest and re-applied. I got no confirmation messages but as moderator I got the moderate message.
How did you reapply? with the subscribe policy confirm then moderate a new subscriber should get the list:user:action:subscribe message and have to confirm before the request waits moderation? However, see below.
I then tried a bogus email and saw that a message was sent to that and no moderator message to me. Would the server skip the verification message because I'm a moderator/admin?
It's not because you are an admin. It's because you were logged in when you subscribed from the list's info page. You will need to confirm if you subscribe anonymously without logging in or subscribe via email, but if you are logged in to Postorius when you request subscription, that is sufficient confirmation that the request really comes from you, so you don't get an email confirmation.
So, depending on your circumstances, this may or may not work for you.
