Some colleagues of mine tried to subscribe to an OSGeo List recently and
ran into this error:

{{{
grass-user Subscription results
You must GET the form before submitting it.
}}}

Problem: no error message provided nor their susbscription actually
issued.

The forms (Name, Email, double password) were filled in.

In /var/log/mailman/* I cannot identify a related error.

What might be missing?

Comment (by Jeff McKenna):

If the colleagues work under the same roof, I bet they are hitting this
issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/1447445 where load
balancing causes them to get the subscription page with one IP and then
try to submit with another IP. Here is a related discussion, where they
found that in the logs: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-
users/2015-April/078966.html

I think we should upgrade Mailman.

Do you agree?

You nailed it!

If that would solve the problem, yes.

Comment (by Jeff McKenna):

This was fixed in the mailman 2.1.21 release (OSGeo mailman is 2.1.20,
released in year 2015).
