I have just gone through the process of subscribing to the mplayer-dev 
list. The comfirmation process is broken in some ways:

> Mailing list subscription confirmation notice for mailing list
> MPlayer-dev-eng
> 
> We have received a request from x.x.x.x for subscription of
> your email address, "x at x.com", to the
> mplayer-dev-eng at mplayerhq.hu mailing list.  To confirm that you want
> to be added to this mailing list, simply reply to this message,
> keeping the Subject: header intact.  Or visit this web page:
> 
>     http://mplayerhq.hu/mailman/confirm/mplayer-dev-eng/386719e678435800940bdced9a6f490ead4c24f1

This link does not exist, so users cannot just click on this url to 
comfirm subscription.

> Or include the following line -- and only the following line -- in a
> message to mplayer-dev-eng-request at mplayerhq.hu:

This email address has a ":" at the end, so someone can't just click on 
the email address and reply using that address.
