The notice of held post is sent only to the list owner (you), not to
list members. See below for the others.

On the list's General Options page (Mailman's admin GUI, not Apple's),
set send_welcome_msg to No.

This may or may not be sufficient depending on exactly how members are
added. For example, the admin Membership Management... -> Mass
Subscription page has its own radio button for this, but it defaults
to the list setting.

The setting for the unsubscribe notice is send_goodbye_message, also on
the General Options page.
