Xapian discuss - Jan 2006 - Signup didn't work or did it?

Interesting event.  I attempted to sign up for this list.  I received 
the "confirmation" email that said reply to this.  I did and got back
a
message that said:

The results of your email command are provided below. Attached is your
original message.

- Results:
    Invalid confirmation string.  Note that confirmation strings expire
approximately 3 days after the initial subscription request.  If your
confirmation has expired, please try to re-submit your original request or
message.

However I'm getting mail from the lst anyway.

Oh well, I'm here.  In case anyone cares about the above strangeness, 
I'm reporting it.

Jim.

The mailing list manager appears to have got wedged at the weekend -
nothing seems to have got through since sometime on Saturday.  James
fixed it earlier today, and the backed-up mail is slowly feeding out -
if the queue is first-in, first-out it should be cleared by the time you
read this.

I suspect your weird experience was a symptom of a developing problem.

Cheers,
