Set Privacy options... -> Subscription rules -> subscribe_policy to
Confirm or if ALLOW_OPEN_SUBSCRIBE is set to Yes in mm_cfg.py and you
want to allow spammers to subscribe without at least confirmation, set
subscribe_policy to None.

Also, in Mailman 2.1.20 and up there is a subscribe_auto_approval list
of addresses and regexps whose subscriptions do not require approval
when subscribe_policy requires it.

If you have command line access to the server, see the script at
