Are you talking about the mail that begins


Welcome to the ... mailing list!
   (list speciic welcome here)
To post to this list, send your email to:
...

If so, this message is generated from the subscribeack.txt template.
The FAQ at
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.048.htp
has information on how to edit this, but to be more specific, assuming
you only want to change the English language template for the list
named my-list, do the following.

Make a copy of templates/en/subscribeack.txt. Do not make any changes
to and do not delete templates/en/subscribeack.txt.

Edit the copy as desired

Store the edited copy in lists/my-list/en/subscribeack.txt, creating
the lists/my-list/en directory if necessary.

Both the lists/my-list/en directory and the
lists/my-list/en/subscribeack.txt file should belong to the mailman
group and have at least permissions 2750 and 640 respectively.

I don't know. What are the list settings for owner and moderator and
subscribe_policy. How are you subscribing the user - from Membership
Management...->Mass Subscription or from the listinfo page?
