The following is the 'canned' response I send out to those who claim
the confirmation code/procedure is broken .....
( sometimes I get a 'thank you', usually I just see their subscription
take effect ... ;-) )
------------------------------------------------------------------------
A quick glance at the headers indicates that you may have missed
one ( NOT minor ) detail in the instructions:
When you receive the confirmation request, the instructions say:
1) REPLY to the item with the message 'ok'
( it appears you did this correctly )
If this fails, which it did ( mailers/gateways/? adding confusing or
invalid info ), then
2) SEND ( it appears you did a REPLY ) the message 'ok + code' in the
same way you sent the original subscription request. 'ok + code'
will NOT work if sent via a REPLY
If your 'confirm' window has expired, please start again with a sub
request - if you want me to monitor, feel free to 'inc' or /cc
[log in to unmask] to all your sends/reply
sequence 1) SEND sub request
2) REPLY to confirm request
3) SEND confirm code ( if necessary )
