[Mailman-Users] Stop the Confirmation E-Mail

[Jon Carnes]

Folks get around this by writing their own web-page for subscriptions
(and email address/script).  They feed the addresses into a command line
script.  The command line script allows additions without confirmations.

You can also hack the code to allow this.

I don't think anyone on Mailman-dev wants to encourage the bad practice
of allowing folks to be subscribed without their approval (except by the
list admin), so don't look for this feature to be changed in MMv3.
