Here is the response I get from Mailman: This response comes immediately after the administrator (me) gets the announcement Email that a new member is waiting for approval. Thus showing the subscription request was ok and completed successfully but I still get the "Results of Your Email Commands" email. The reponse:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject : The results of your email commands
The results of your email command are provided below. Attached is your original message.
- Results: Your subscription request has been forwarded to the list administrator at [EMAIL PROTECTED] for review.

If the subject of the mail is "end" without the quotes, Mailman won't attempt to process anything in the body, but it will still echo the body as unprocessed commands. It will work similarly if the first line of the body is "end".
I'm a bit confused though because normally, nothing after the first failure will be attempted and the rest will be unprocessed anyway. Also, I suspect you don't require user confirmation because in my testing, I only get a "The results of your email commands" reply if subscription fails for some reason (e.g. I'm already subscribed). If the subscription request is successful, the only mail I get is the subscription confirmation request.
