Issue with mailman auto subscription
Hello,
I migrated my mailman 2 instance to mailman 3 some months ago. Some users have been reporting lately that auto subscriptions don't work anymore. In the affected list both the Subscription and un subscription policies are open, which means that normally a user that sends a "subscribe" mail automatically subs to the list. This works fine for users that have been subscribed in the past but not for new users. The latter get a mail stating that a confirmation is needed ("Your confirmation is needed to join the XXXX@my.lists.com mailing list"). I see nothing out of the ordinary in the mailman.log file and co.
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot in advance

In Mailman 3 addresses need to be verified. Even if a list's subscription policy is open, if the request is from an unverified address, a confirmation request is sent to verify the address.
