You need command line (i.e. shell) access or possibly FTP access to the
machine on which Mailman is installed with sufficient permissions to
create the required files and probably change their owner and group.
If you don't have this or know what it means, you have to talk to the
people responsible for installing/maintaining your Mailman.

It is analagous to the subscribeack.txt template - its name is
verify.txt.
