In this instance confirm means that when someone sends in a subscription command LISTSERV sends in reply a message to which the would-be-subscriber must reply properly within a specified period (the default is 48 hrs., but you can change it in the header). You, as listowner, aren't sent anything (unless it bounces and you get it as an error message). If what you want is to know whenver someone subscribes to your list(s) what you may want is Notify= Yes or Notify= your@address in the list header. For the sender of the message to get a copy of the message sent to the list you need REPRO. It's a subscription option. You can set all your current subscribers to it by sending to the LISTSERV QUIET SET listname REPRO FOR *@* That won't take care of new subscribers, though. For that, change your list header to read Default-Options= Repro I assume you can change your list headers. If not, ask whoever set the list up for you to do it, please.
