Body: <p>The documentation says:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>After people subscribe to mailing list groups—via the subscribe link
    or a profile—CiviCRM will automatically send them an email asking them
    to confirm their subscription. Until they click the confirmation link
    in the email, their contact information will appear in CiviCRM with
    their group subscription set to Pending. When they confirm, CiviCRM
    will automatically change their group subscription status to Added and
    they will be sent a welcome message. (Note: When users subscribe to
    multiple groups at once, a confirmation email is sent for each group
    separately.)</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I cannot get this to work. Civimail works fine. Send mail to individuals or to a list that resulted from a search works fine.</p>
  
  <p>People join a group through a profile. The advanced settings in the profile has the group name ("Volunteers") and a return ddress but <strong>no emails are sent</strong>.</p>
  
  <p>I have checked to see if there is a scheduled job that handles this but could not find one that seemed relevant.</p>

Comments.Text: Is it working via the Subscribe page but not via Profile - or neither. Also i thought there was a setting where you could disable confirmation. Can't spot it in the UI - might be in civicrm.settings.php but not about to go digging to check

  People join a group through a profile. The advanced settings in the profile has the group name ("Volunteers") and a return ddress but **no emails are sent**.
  
  I have checked to see if there is a scheduled job that handles this but could not find one that seemed relevant.
