OK I've been trying to subscribe to internal for a few days and I just succeeded but it was tough.

So, first issue is the form at https://secure.php.net/mailing-lists.php

I tried using it to subscribe but it didn't work. I inspected the requests and found out that it was submitting to https://php.net/mailing-lists.php which was redirecting to https://secure.php.net/mailing-lists.php. This was losing the POST request in the process.

The reason why seems to be this line:

 <base href="https://php.net/mailing-lists.php";>

Once I tried submitting with CURL on https://secure.php.net/mailing-lists.php directly it worked and I got the confirmation email. I replied to it and so far I didn't get a reply saying that I've been actually subscribed.

In the meantime I tried the instructions on the page to subscribe directly to the list:

Either send a message to php-whatever-h...@lists.php.net (as in, php-general-h...@lists.php.net)

Sending a message to that address (or to php-internals-h...@lists.php.net) got me a message asking me to reply to confirm I wanted to post to the mailing list. I didn't want to. I tried php-internals-subscr...@lists.php.net and never got any message either.

After getting the confirmation message after fixing the php.net form I got an email from internals-h...@lists.php.net, so it seems that the "php-" prefix is not actually used? I tried to send an email to internals-subscr...@lists.php.net and no luck either.

(I also tried mailing webmas...@lists.php.net and got address not found, this is getting really confusing!)
