The problem is that AddMember generates the pending subscription, the
cookie and the confirmation email and then raises
Errors.MMSubscribeNeedsConfirmation so the caller (generally,
Mailman/Cgi/subscribe.py) can catch the exception and generate the
appropriate response text. The add_members script doesn't catch this
exception, so you get the above error. You can just add
except Errors.MMSubscribeNeedsConfirmation:
print >> tee, _('Sent Confirmation: %(member)s')
or maybe, if you don't actually see this output, just
except Errors.MMSubscribeNeedsConfirmation:
pass
to the excepts following the try: of the AddMember call. You probably
want to also handle the Errors.MMNeedApproval exception in case you do
this on a list where subscription requires approval.
As to why the confirmation link returned an error, I don't know why
this happened. What does Mailman's error log say?
