Confirmation requests can be viewed via the Confirmation tab of the Moderation Queue panel. This tab displays both subscription confirmation requests and verification of email requests.
A confirmation request is sent out when someone signs up for a Mailman List and the list subscription settings is set to confirm. If someone signs up for Mailman List for the first time using Affinity, then a verification email is sent out regardless of the list subscription settings. This verification task is part of Mailman 3 core and it cannot be avoided. A verification request will also be displayed in the Confirmation tab. It will look exactly like a confirmation request and that cannot be helped.
The Moderation queue panel allows List Owners and Moderators to either discard a request or ban a request. Discarding a confirmation/verification request is helpful when the confirmation/verification link has expired (after 24 hours). Banning a confirmation/verification request is done when you want to prevent the user trying to subscribe from doing so now and in the future.
