<div>
<div>
<div>+1 to jzb's idea of turning it off. The only thing I would like to add is that we add to to marketing join wiki page for the mailing list that there is a manual approval process so there might be delays. Just so we don't deter future contributors.</div>

They're not subscribed. There's some bot or something that's<br>
auto-filling the form to request a subscription - so they don't actually<br>
subscribe, they just get the confirmation.<br>
<br>
Problem is, it looks like anybody getting this from us is also getting<br>
sent to a bunch of other mailman lists - so the effect is a bunch of<br>
(what seems to them to be) spam.<br>
<br>
The other reason I think we might consider turning this off for a while<br>
- if enough people are getting this, it means there's some percentage<br>
just clicking some variation of "mark as spam" -- which could result in<br>
traffic from our lists getting a higher spam score.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
