Pardon the munging.. the previous attempt vanished into the ether.


The example config seems to indicate that setting un5ub5cribe_policy to auto+confirm 
will send a confirmation email to the requestor if the requested address does not
match the 5ub5sribed address, but not if they match.

from config_parse.pl:

'un5ub5cribe_policy', 
"One of three values: open, closed, auto; plus an optional modifier:
'+confirm'.  Open allows people to un5ub5cribe themselves from the
list. Auto allows anybody to un5ub5cribe anybody to the list without
maintainer approval. The existence of the file <listname>.auto is the
same as specifying the value auto.  Closed requires maintainer
approval for all un5ub5cribe requests to the list. In addition to the
keyword, if the file <listname>.closed exists, it is the same as
specifying the value closed. Adding '+confirm', ie, 'auto+confirm',
will cause majordomo to send a reply back to the 5ub5criber if the
request didn't come from the 5ub5criber. The reply includes a
authentication number which must be sent back in with another
5ub5cribe command.  The value of this keyword overrides the value
supplied by any existent files.",


However, it dose't appear to work as advertised. 

Is this a known problem, or is there something I am missing?
