Hi James. Yes, the trouble appears to be replying to confirmation E-mails. I've tried filling in the form manually on the website, but apparently the list is configured in such a way that confirmation is required. Also as far as I can tell, there's no link to click on in order to achieve the task.

If it's the latter, try subscribing via the form on the list's web page on www.freelists.org. if it's replying to confirmation e-mails that's the issue, have a look and see if the confirmation messages contain a link you can click on to send your confirmation.
