I haven't tried this, but looking at Defaults.py for 2.1.4, I see:
# SUBSCRIBE POLICY
# 0 - open list (only when ALLOW_OPEN_SUBSCRIBE is set to 1) **
# 1 - confirmation required for subscribes
# 2 - admin approval required for subscribes
# 3 - both confirmation and admin approval required
#
# ** please do not choose option 0 if you are not allowing open
# subscribes (next variable)
DEFAULT_SUBSCRIBE_POLICY = 1
# Does this site allow completely unchecked subscriptions?
ALLOW_OPEN_SUBSCRIBE = No
Perhaps settings of 0 and Yes will get you the behavior you're seeking,
though I agree with others that it's a Bad Idea(tm).
