There are two ways this works in general. If the site's

possibly preceded by Re: in the Subject:. This works.
This is what I've seen in the past.
If the site's VERP_CONFIRMATIONS setting is Yes as it is at python.org,
the confirmation is From: listname-confirm+<token>@... with Subject:
Your confirmation is required to join the listname mailing list, and
the reply is to listname-confirm+<token>@... and this should work too.
But it didn't. I don't remember having problems signing up to this list,
but that was 4 months ago so I don't really remember.
At any rate, the confirmation message text is incorrect for this
configuration.
If you received a reply that your message Subject was ignored, either
Actually, to be precise, it said that it was "unprocessed".
the To: address didn't match VERP_CONFIRM_REGEXP or the reply wasn't
sent to the -confirm address, or the site's MTA doesn't correctly
deliver mail addressed to listname-confirm+<token>@... . I don't think
it's the third alternative in this case.
Well I still have the message I sent:

If the above doesn't explain what went wrong, post the message you
received in reply to your reply.
Sorry, I don't still have it. But I guess I could generate one.
At any rate, it's not a good advertisment.
Geoff.
