Command: confirm

  Format: confirm <list> <code>

Confirms your request to subscribe to the named list.

The use of this command presumes that you have previously attempted to
subscribe to a list that has the "sub-confirm" flag set.  At that time,
listmanager would have responded with a large code word that you use with
this command to verify that you really did request this subscription.

This feature was added to avert unwilling subscription to lists by
hackers as a form of harrassment.

If a "confirm" request does not arrive within seven days, the subscription
request is discarded.
