Someone (possibly you) has requested that your email address be added
to or deleted from the mailing list "[email protected]".

If you really want this action to be taken, please send the following
commands (exactly as shown) back to "[email protected]":

auth 27467a8e subscribe linux-kernel [email protected]

If you do not want this action to be taken, simply ignore this message
and the request will be disregarded.

If your mailer will not allow you to send the entire command as a single
line, you may split it using backslashes, like so:

auth 27467a8e subscribe linux-kernel \
[email protected]

If you have any questions about the policy of the list owner, please
contact "[email protected]".

Thanks!

This is not good.. I suspect somone is trying to be funny but it needs to
be undone before everyone gets flooded.

Because he likely won't be able to spoof the auth request, the
subscription will never succeed.
