If you subscribe users through the admin Mass Subscribe interface, set
"Send welcome messages to new subscribees?" to No.

If you subscribe them with bin/add_members, use the --welcome-msg=n (or
-w n) option.

Both these methods will default to no welcome message if you set
send_welcome_msg to No on the General Options page.

If you are talking about subscribing people by email as opposed to via
the admin or command line interfaces, you have to set send_welcome_msg
to No as above, and you also have to set

ALLOW_OPEN_SUBSCRIBE = Yes

in mm_cfg.py, and then you can set subscribe_policy for the list to
None to allow subscribe without confirmation, but it is much better
IMO to use the admin or command line interface.
