Hello,
We've encountered a weird issue with mailman 2. We're using mailman
2.1.39, running on a straight RHEL 9 server.
When someone subscribes to a mailing list, they receive an email that
says, among other things:
Or visit this web page:
http://<ourdomain.com>/mailman/confirm/<ourlist>/9e2fccef2ac047bb3d67e602e7fb695a277afe43<http://ourdomain.com/mailman/confirm/ourlist/9e2fccef2ac047bb3d67e602e7fb695a277afe43>
Normally, clicking on this link would confirm the subscription. In our
case, it prompts for the string again, and keeps doing so - it seems
that mailman doesn't recognize the string as being valid.
One thing to check is that URL. If your webserver always redirects http
to https but Mailman thinks its URL starts with http:// you will have
problems like this. The solution is switch Mailman to use the https URL.
Using one of the other confirmation methods, such as just replying to
the message, works correctly. The new subscriber is confirmed
successfully.
The same issue occurs for unsubscribe requests.
The What steps are required for subscription? option is set to
Confirm.
Can anyone suggest how to fix this?
Thanks.
