I looked through the list admin commands. The General page has a
place for an auto-reply to new subscribers (appended to the regular

Auto-Reply page which has places for auto-responses to anyone mailing
to -owner or -request.
Using a less busy list with moderated subscriptions, I edited those 2
sections to send an auto-response (different wording so I could tell
them apart), saved the page, then I subscribed myself at a previous
unused address. I got the moderator request immediately at my
regular address but have not received an auto-response at the new
address. It's been over half an hour.
Am I missing something or does this feature not exist?
How did you request subscription? If you requested via the web, the
autoresponder doesn't apply.
I used the web. But so will 99.99% of our subscribers.
Also, you will get at most 1 autoresponse
from -request within autoresponse_graceperiod, so if you got one to
this address while testing, you won't get another until the original
graceperiod expires or you set autoresponse_graceperiod to 0.
I set it to 0 when I set it up.
In short, you can set autorespond_requests to respond once per
graceperiod to the sender of a messsage to the -request (or -subscribe
or -join) address (which may or may not be a subscribe request), but
you can't set a message to be sent to anyone requesting a
subscription.
Bummer. Thanks for the quick response.
Might this be added to a wish list? I'm sure a lot of listowners
with moderation set for subscriptions would love that feature.
Thanks,
Cyndi
