Thanks a lot for looking into this. Then this must resolve the problem. I’ll try it!

Since I’m not the one in control I must not have realized that it was possible to manually add new users without confirmation.

Maybe a tip could be added [to the instructions](https://meta.discourse.org/t/creating-a-read-only-mailing-list-mirror/77990#subscribe-to-mailing-list) letting people know they can only subscribe via web interfaces (when no email confirmation is needed).
