The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Chad Myslinsky <address@concealed>]

I'm the proud new father of an inherited 5.4.3 installation and am trying to 
clarify behavior seen while subscribing to lists with "Who can subscribe to 
the list (subscribe)" set to "subscription request confirmed (auth)."  My 
inherited installation decides it wants to email a password instead of 
emailing a confirmation link.  I've been playing around with the 6.1b.1 
appliance which is emailing confirmation links. The Scenario Source is the 
same between both environments so I'm not sure what to investigate next.  Is 
there some kind of setting which forces authentication on the website?
