There seems to be a second subscription method which involves a -request 
suffix. Google suggested the following solution: 
https://is.richmond.edu/email/mail-lists/block-requests.html
TL;DR: an "Auto-response" for subscrition requests can be set up by setting 
"autorespond_requests" to "Yes, w/ discard". "autorespond_requests_text" allows 
to configure a text which is being sent to the subscriber as part of the 
auto-response. Perhaps this helps.

Leon
