That's fine but it doesn't explain why I have received messages that were built by a template for some subscription requests. In other words, why is there a template being used in some instances and on others a "mailman notify command" is being used?
The notice sent at the time the request is generated is built from a
template. The mailman notify command is intended to be run
periodically via cron set up by the site admins to send a summary of
then outstanding requests to the list admins.
You should receive the initial notice built from a template of each request as it is generated as long as the list is sent to send immediate notices.
The notice sent by mailman notify is a summary of all requests
outstanding at that time. If all the requests have been handled by the
time mailman notify is run, it won't send you anything.
Are there different methods for people to use to request a subscription?
Yes, but that's not the explanation for your question. Subscription can be requested via a web UI or via email to the list-join or list-subscribe address or via a join or subscribe command sent to the list-request address, but all methods result in the same notices to the admin.
By the way, Brian at EMWD has been extremely helpful to me already and, as he stated, he informed me that this is an issue with Mailman 3 so I thought I'd try getting the answer directly from this group.
I agree and appreciate that Brian is very supportive. In my initial reply, it was not clear to me that Brian had referred you here which is the only reason I pointed out that he was your primary line of support.
