Yes, I have to manually update my whitelist whenever I subscribe to something.  
It's difficult (or impossible) to predict what address any system will use 
when sending you email so it's a manual process ... check pending queue a few 
minutes after subscribing, find their confirmation email, manually approve 
said email, add their sending address to your whitelist.  This is the one 
aspect of TMDA that I still find somewhat inconvenient.
