Second that. Recent majordomo installs have that
builtin, and you could enable it with "newconfig":
# subscribe_policy [enum] (open+confirm) <majordomo> /open;closed
# One of three values: open, closed, auto; plus an optional
# modifier: '+confirm'. Open allows people to subscribe themselves
# to the list. Auto allows anybody to subscribe anybody to the list
# without maintainer approval. Closed requires maintainer approval
# for all subscribe requests to the list. Adding '+confirm', ie,
# 'open+confirm', will cause majordomo to send a reply back to the
# subscriber which includes a authentication number which must be
# sent back in with another subscribe command.
subscribe_policy = closed
b.
P.S.: I recently tried to mail the list owner (one
subscribers spammed me with automatic spam reply..)
with one of the common (Majordomo) aliases and failed
utterly. Where is the maintainer listed?
