I have subscribed to one of my Mailman lists on a domain hosted by eukhost.com using a forwarded email address and there was no problem. I was asked to confirm my request and my request was forwarded to the moderator for approval. It won't be! I think your problem must be caused by the spam filtering or DMARC policies of the service providers or hosts of the domains concerned - maybe list settings but I can't think of one that might have that effect. I run a number of Mailman lists and I haven't run into this problem but I normally subscribe members myself. The lists aren't publicly visible. The only really annoying thing is caused by AOL's DMARC policies which means messahes have to be sent as attachments to wrapper messages or the From address has to be munged so you can only reply to the list unless you edit the address. I think there are some issues with BT but not directly associated with the list. One member who uses a company domain name but appears to be connected via Virgin Media can't communicate with another member on btinternet. I suspect that has to do with reverse domain lookup as the company is based in Denmark.
