For our moderated group, the Pending Subscription notice is the important one, as it informs them that they have not been accepted and that they will not be accepted unless they have met other requirements (attending an in-person meeting, completely outside the scope of Groups.io).? So what I found confusing in my tests was that the subscriber received the custom 'pending' notice that essentially says "sorry" and at the same time receive a confirmation as though they are in.
To me it would make more sense to hold that email address verification/confirmation until after they have been accepted into a private group.
