For the past year I have been using the approval process for new subcribers as
a technique to reduce the intial commands (signoff, get, etc) sent to a List by
the inexperienced.
 
In the last two months I have received this message from about three
susbcribers.  In fact this one user has encountered the same problem twice.
 
Does anyone has any experienced with this problem?

Status:
 
The approval  request code received together  with your posting for  the CELIAC
list is  incorrect. For  a peered  list, this  may be  a normal  condition. The
approval protocol  is not guaranteed  to work  among peer chains  with pre-1.8b
servers, and  will also  fail if  the peers  have a  different password.  For a
non-peered list, the  only likely explanation is a failure  in the mail system,
or a recent change in mail system version or configuration. At any rate, please
resubmit your message and go through  the approval procedure a second time, and
contact the LISTSERV administrator if the problem persists.
