This just means that the address you were trying to subscribe was not
on the "reject" list. No problem here.

And this means that the address isn't already on the mailing list. No
problem here either.

This means that you haven't enabled auto_subscribe. This is probably
your problem.

This isn't going to do what you expect anyway. Sending a message to
the -request address with "subscribe" in the subject will add you, the
*sender*, to the list -- not the address you give after the
"subscribe" command.

If you as the list maintainer are trying to repopulate all your lists,
you should be using X-Commands. In rc.custom, set X_COMMAND_PASSWORD
to a password of your choice, then you can send a message to the
-request address with an X-Command header like this:

X-Command: [email protected] PASSWORD subscribe [email protected]

Where [email protected] is the maintainer and [email protected] is the
address you want to subscribe. You can even send multiple commands in
one message:

X-Command: [email protected] PASSWORD subscribe [email protected]
subscribe [email protected]

See section 2 of .etc/Manual for more details.
